Kriseman to meet with Rays on council's stadium search proposal
The meeting may provide the first indication of whether the Rays will accept a deal drawn up by Councilman Jim Kennedy costing them about $13 million more than one they reached with the mayor in 2014. JASON BEHNKEN / STAFFST. PETERSBURG — Mayor Rick Kriseman and Tampa Bay Rays officials will resume talks Thursday afternoon, their first meeting since the City Council approved a proposal that would require the team to pay more to break its contract to play at Tropicana Field through 2027.
