The stadiums hold no value, only the land they sit on... However, stadiums do provide citizens a place to gather and watch professional sports teams improving their way of life just like a park, swimming pool, or library...
Here's an idea, MOVE OUT of St. Pete and into ACTUAL Tampa and you'll have fans attending games, wasting tax payer money on a new stadium in St. Pete won't increase attendance!
St Pete and Pinellas county moaned and groaned and complained and threatened and obstructed the Rays for years when they wanted to look at sites in Tampa, positioning themselves as the only option. When the Rays agreed to the deal they now want to back out? And how dare St Pete complain when the Rays chose to play in Tampa, its the best place to play and still be profitable. St Pete is a selfish spoiled child. The Rays need to make a deal with Tampa and leave St Pete in the rear view
Move already. This is all about the rich getting mega rich. Owners, players over a game. 10.00 beers and hotdogs...parking sucks. Move....should have never been built in St. Pete. Even the logo stinks...Devil Rays? WTF ?
They don't own the stadium. They lease it. They should pay to build their own stadium, but the city should be on the hook for repair costs for the current stadium.
Stadiums need to be self funded. The NBA NFL etc should have to fund these stadiums. It’s gross how much tax payer money is used.

Let them move to Tampa. People will actually go to the games.
Nashville will graciously accept the Tampa Bay Rays... Apparently Saint Petersburg doesn't want them...
I add my NO.
Let them stay in Tampa and build affordable housing there.
They should just put a translucent roof over the trop, that be cool, but probably be too expensive. The rays need to be moved to Tampa.
All the damage and people worried about a game stadium. Foolishness. Help people restore their lives, businesses!!
Milton did the work for us. Just get them out of here and use the $$ for county infrastructure.
If the rays were serious about a new stadium, they would have built it by now!!!

Hurricane *Milton?* We need stop dubbing serial killers with cool names, and instead start naming hurricanes like we’ve been naming serial killers.

Ray's, what an incredibly stupid name, should pay for their own stadium and repairs for this one.

Rays did not own stadium but City did...
Having the cheapest owner in all of sports doesn’t help. Sell the team and build in Tampa!
