Rays Get New Stadium Approval | Tampa Bay Rays News

The Tampa Bay Rays are finally getting their new stadium after a years-long battle — the Hillsborough County Commission voted 5-2 to approve the $2.4 billion project, locking the team in Tampa for at least 35 years. With city and county contributions totaling nearly $876 million and the team footing the rest, construction is set to begin with Opening Day in 2029. This isn’t just a ballpark — it’s part of a massive mixed-use development, and after setbacks including Hurricane Milton and a collapsed Pinellas County deal, the Rays’ future in Tampa is now secure well into the 2060s.
