Rays Win Public Backing for $2.3B Tampa Stadium and Mixed-Use District

The Hillsborough County Commission approved the Rays’ $2.3 billion stadium deal by a 5-2 vote, securing roughly $800 million from the county, about $80 million from the city, and $1.4 billion in private funding to build a new ballpark and surrounding mixed-use development near Hillsborough College with a planned 2029 opening.

Florida Cabinet approves Hillsborough land transfer for Rays stadium project

The Florida Cabinet voted to transfer 22 acres of Hillsborough College land at the Dale Mabry campus to the Rays for a planned Tampa stadium and mixed-use district, with the team expected to fund about half of the up-to-$2.3 billion cost and remaining funds from Tampa and county sources. The transfer includes conditions: the project must have certain components built within five years, and Hillsborough College will retain ownership of redeveloped buildings. Gov.

St. Pete Council Approves Bonds for New Rays Stadium

The St. Petersburg City Council has approved bonds to fund a new stadium for the Tampa Bay Rays, with a narrow 4-3 vote. This decision shifts the responsibility to the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners, who will vote on the funding in December. The Rays have expressed concerns over increased costs due to delays, but council members believe approving the bonds will compel the team to adhere to the original deal. The Rays' current venue, Tropicana Field, is unplayable for 2025 due to hurricane damage, adding urgency to the situation.
