TAMPA — Tampa Bay Rays executives met with Tampa and Hillsborough County officials Tuesday for their first discussion of specific potential baseball stadium sites in the county.
They spent nearly two hours going over nine sites both inside and outside the Tampa city limits — seven presented by the Hillsborough group, two more by the Rays.
“A very productive meeting,” said Hillsborough County Commission Ken Hagan, who hopes the list can be culled to two to four sites over the next month or so.
“There are a good number of options,” Rays president Brian Auld said after the closed-door meeting in downtown Tampa.
