This week marks the one-year anniversary since the City of St. Petersburg gave the Rays permission to consider stadium sites anywhere in Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties. Although there has yet to be any public announcement of a proposed site, the Rays and public officials on both sides of Tampa Bay have been active.
Let’s review.
Potential Sites in Pinellas County
City officials in St. Petersburg and Oldsmar have discussed stadium sites with the team. We covered Oldmar’s proposal here. The Derby Lane facility has also been mentioned as a potential Pinellas site, but no serious planning for that site seems to have moved forward.
