Despite being forced to leave the stadium for a season due to Hurricane Milton, nearly $60 million was spent to replace the roof and rebuild the stadium. The Rays returned to play this season at Steinbrenner Field, the spring training home of the New York Yankees. The team was sold to a group led by real estate developer Patrick Zalupski and plans to build a 31,000-seat stadium in Tampa near the home of NFL's Buccaneers. The new stadium is scheduled to open in 2029. The stadium's catwalk system is one of the only ones in the majors where fans can touch stingrays.
