The Tampa Bay Rays will announce this Tuesday the completion of an agreement for a new stadium in St. Petersburg, Florida, according to a report in the Tampa Bay Times.
Construction of the 30,000-seat indoor stadium, which will open in 2028 and is estimated to cost more than $1.2 billion, appears to end speculation about the Tampa Bay Rays moving to another city.
The Tampa Bay Rays’ current 30-year lease at Tropicana Field ends in 2027, and the franchise had considered moving elsewhere, such as neighboring Tampa, amid consistently low attendance.
The new stadium will be part of a massive redevelopment of the city’s 86-acre gas plant districta project that also includes affordable housing, office space and retail in what was once a thriving black neighborhood of St. Petersburg.
