For the other two Rays fans out there, let me turn you on to a book that's about to be released about the inner world of taking a laughing stock,low revenue franchise and making it into a winner..
THE EXTRA 2% - Sneak Peek
Looks like a good read for any sports fan..
To the topic at hand.,
The Trop isn't a suitable stadium for a major league baseball team, putting aside my fond memories. Obviously something needs to be done.. Newest article i have seen..
New stadium for Rays? What the lease has to say - St. Petersburg Times
Biggest issue right now is the Trop lease, how easy is to get out of? Honestly the best option for this franchise is to get closer to the other side of the bridge, AKA Tampa. The thing about this area is it's so spread out, it's a unique area that is fighting geography, long standing fanbases from transplants and humid weather.
My bet is a outdoor stadium near Raymond James.. Possibly more near the bay itself that links Tampa and St Pete. I wish the best for this franchise, effin deserves a fresh start in a new stadium that wasn't built for the S.F Giants...
