There's already uncertainty about whether or not the local legislature will approve bonds, and now the Rays have to decide how ready they are to commit to this project.

The Tampa Bay Rays should declare in writing whether they want to pursue an existing financing plan for a new $1.3 billion ballpark or walk away from the deal.

Imagine owning a team worth $1.25 billion. You’ve worked for years on a new ballpark, only to see it wiped out. Welcome to the joys of owning the Tampa Bay Rays.

Despite the rivalry, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner didn’t hesitate to offer assistance to the Rays after Hurricane Milton.

Engineers completed an assessment of hurricane damage to the team's current ballpark, but plans to build a new $1.3-billion stadium could be falling apart.

Just as the late, great Pat Williams predicted, it appears the Rays will never get a new stadium in Tampa Bay, but does Orlando have the leadership to capitalize?

Tampa Bay is scheduled to play 13 of its first 16 games at home and 47 of 59 through May 28, then play 69 of its last 103 games on the road. The Rays are home for eight of 25 games in July and eight of 26 in August.
