Interstate billboard takes direct aim at Rays’ split-season concept
October 25, 2021 - As of Monday morning, drivers on Interstate I-275 near Tropicana Field can see a billboard paid by a Canadian nonprofit group reading, "Dear Rays, Montréal won’t pay for your new stadium. Sincerely, Taxpayers." The group behind the billboard is the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, a federally incorporated, not-for-profit citizen’s group. The message is directed at the Rays, as the team has considered splitting future seasons between Tampa Bay and Montreal.
