As Trop preps for World Series, what's going on with Rays new stadium?
The Tampa Bay Rays are set to play at Tropicana Field for two more seasons before moving to a new $2.3 billion stadium. The Tampa Bay Rays are set to move to a new $2.3 billion stadium, which will cost taxpayers at least $900 million. The new stadium will be adjacent to Steinbrenner Field, spring training home of the Yankees, and across Dale Mabry Highway from Raymond James Stadium. The move comes as the 2026 World Series shifts to the Florida Gulf Coast for Game 3 between the Tampa Bayray and the Milwaukee Brewers. The team's former ownership had been looking for a new home for years, securing a spot at the Historic Gas Plant District when Hurricane Milton hit in 2024. The plan was eventually scrapped when new ownership group, led by Jacksonville developer Patrick Zapulski and several Tampa-area power players, landed an even more expensive stadium planned across the bay in Tampa proper. The stadium is set to open in April 2029.
