Let’s see if that deal actually gets done. I’m always skeptical with city of st Pete. Wisely they decided not to put it to a vote this time. It would never have passed.Rays are in St Pete for the long haul after their stadium deal
Downtown St Pete is an amazing area and this stadium area will just make it that much more vibrant. The problem as always is that St Pete is on a Peninsula. Tampa folks would rather travel 90 minutes to Orlando than cross the Howard Franklin or Gandy Bridge to go to St. Pete, 20 minutes away.
So it’s not an old person problem… it’s a weird Pinellas County (St Pete) vs Hillsborough County (Tampa) dynamic. It’s really hard to comprehend unless you’ve lived here.
