Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred admitted that, while the Tropicana Field is expected to be ready for the 2026 season, the long -term house of Tampa Bay Resege is uncertain.
St. Petersburg, Fla., City Council voted in April to approve a new tefflon-coated fiberglass roof to replace a one by Hurricane Milton in April. Manfred said on Wednesday that the target is to play rays in the Tropicana field or near the inauguration day in the next season.
Team this season’s domestic games were Yankis Spring Training Facility, George M. Steinbrener plays in the field. However, the rays are an average of the average of the rays MLB-cum-less 9,850 fans, which adds an additional wrinkle to solve the long-term space of the franchise.
In March, the team moved away from a deal to build a $ 1.3 billion stadium with the city and Pinellus County, claiming that it could not proceed due to the transfer time and cost overran of the project.
Manfred said, “Major contingency (for next year) (2025) what happens with the storm season. Also you can’t do much. Apart from crossing your fingers,” Manfred said. “For a long time, they are going to respect their leases (in Tropicana field) through 2028, but I really have nothing to add beyond it.”
The city was contracted to provide rays with a playable house, and the council voted 7–1 for the new fiber filament roof despite concerns in April 7–1.
Council member Brandi Gabbard told Tampa Bay Times, “I am spending a lot of money and helping the residents in our most affected neighborhoods.”
Earlier this week, a community discussion run by Tampa Bay Times discussed the future of the gas plant district – where the Tropicana field is located – now that the new stadium deal is dead. Among the views raised was an additional hotel place, a park, or a field similar to Boston Common in New England.
