Pinellas County and the Rays have a stadium standoff

Pinellas County commissioners delayed a critical vote Tuesday night just hours after the Tampa Bay Rays sent a somber letter stating the Commission's previous inaction has jeopardized a generational project.

Commissioner Brian Scott believes the team “might be looking for a way out” of an arduous and, apparently, tenuous agreement approved under a different board in July. The letter, penned by team presidents Brian Auld and Matt Silverman, said the commission’s Oct. 29 decision to postpone approving a bond issuance negated plans to open a new ballpark for the 2028 season - and the Rays could not afford additional associated costs “alone.”
