Council approves $1.25 million stadium consulting contract
December 8, 2023 - The St. Petersburg City Council approved a $1.25 million contract with David Abrams and Inner Circle Sports to provide additional Tropicana Field redevelopment consultation services at its Dec. 7 meeting. Council members postponed a Nov. 30 vote due to the inclusion of a new entity and lack of financial information. Multiple council members expressed gratitude for recent one-on-one meetings with Abrams and cautious comfortability with a new limited liability corporation (LLC) that will act on the Tampa Bay Rays’ behalf.
