Rays tap familiar contractor for $2.3B stadium, eyeing 2029 opening
TL;DR Summary
The Rays named AECOM Hunt/Turner to build a $2.3 billion stadium on Hillsborough College campus, with construction potentially starting this fall and a 2029 opening target, pending city and county financing approvals. AECOM Hunt, which remodeled Tropicana Field, led a four-bid process with Mortenson Beck finishing second. The project faces a tight 31-month timeline that hinges on finalized financing, approvals, weather, and supply-chain considerations, and the final design and budget are not yet locked in, though an indoor-outdoor, glass-walled concept remains the goal.
