About this episode

The episode discusses the Tampa Bay Rays' proposal for a new stadium and the associated public funding requests.

$2.3 billion stadium $1 billion in public funds The Rays are asking for a LOT from multiple different revenue/tax sources to get a new stadium done in Tampa, but it will be up to Hillsborough County & the City of Tampa on if those funds will be allocated. Either way, it's a big ask at a crucial time for the Rays as they look to not squander recent momentum built, hoping to put enough pressure on the area to pull in their direction.
