How much is it worth for MLB to kick in some earnest money to either fix the Trop or build a new stadium? Rob Manfred said they want to stay in the market, and one way to put their money where their mouth is would be to kick in some significant bucks to help.
They said the same shit for us in Oakland. Hate to see the same process done twice in playing the another fanbase but Rays fans should proceed with caution. Plan for the worst and hope for the best with this fallout. Best wishes from Oakland.
@@theblackhood4812the NFL, MLB and NBA are not messing around. Pay up for a new stadium or lose your team to another city. Period. Doesn't matter how u feel about billionaires those are the rules
It will be Tampa. MLB and Rays know it’s best, just look at a map of population areas… it’s common sense. Then, they got flooded with demand for tickets at Steinbrenner and that’s what settled it. Which is why St. Pete hated that they went to play at Steinbrenner.
It's horrible because Tampa Bay hasn't done anything to get transportation easier around the 3 counties. Honestly most baseball stadiums take at least 30 min to get to from where most of the people live. This is a lame excuse people use. If you like the Rays you'll take the time to drive there.
Aside from the Ybor site, I've heard the Bucs need a new stadium soon too, perhaps the Rays should just perchase that Yankee's stadium by the airport and stay there and work a deal with the Bucs and Yanks to build a new sports complex there.
@@ericedwards3055I'm on the taxpayers side when it comes to the Bucs. They paid entirely for the mid 90's stadium. This time the ownership should fix it
Now you know how Arizona Coyotes fans have felt for so many years. And that team is now gone.

Ok where and don't say ybor because that doesn't work
Rays fans don't lose, they never show up to begin with!
Is the empty parking lot by the Bucs training facility big enough to put a stadium and use the Bucs parking lot?
It's the site of an old shopping mall. Yes , it is. As is the dilapidated Yankees minor league complex down the street from it.
Saint Sleepersburg is not a place where pro sports can be successful. They don't have the right demographics and the location is horrible to get to.

@@ericedwards3055good point
Everyone's at fault.... If Pinellas county would have approved the bonds we'd have a new stadium.
Erase Nashville off the relocation list. 2B football stadium for 2027 is the last public money facility here.

They don't have the money

@@ericedwards3055 they have the money. They have bed tax like pinellas. But it’s not upfront like pinellas was offering
I would not bring up Rob Manfred at all. Relying on the biggest jackass in sports to fix this situation is not a smart thing to do.
