Proposed Tampa Bay Rays stadium
A new indoor ballpark is proposed to be built at the Hillsborough College campus in Tampa, Florida. If constructed, it would serve as the home of the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball (MLB). This is the latest proposal for a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium, in addition to Gas Plant Stadium proposed in 2023, Ybor Stadium proposed in 2018 and Rays Ballpark proposed in 2007. The Rays have played in Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg since their inaugural season in 1998, with the exception of the 2025 season at George M. Steinbrenner Field as a result of the impact of Hurricane Milton. The plan for the stadium and adjacent development is inspired by The Battery associated with Truist Park, home ballpark of the Atlanta Braves. This 31,000 seat ballpark is projected to open in time for the 2029 MLB season, which follows the end of the team's contract to play at Tropicana Field through the 2028 season. The push for a new home for the Rays is due to the cost replacing the roof at Tropicana Field, plus other maintenance costs associated with the stadium which was built in 1990. Construction of the ballpark is scheduled to begin in 2026.
