If it comes to it, I hope local taxpayers don't foolishly agree to pay for a new Rays stadium. Owners should privately finance all new places of business.

The should. However, there are plenty of communities that are willing to pay for it.  So, often times, your choices are pay for it or lose the team.  I'm a Bucs, Rays, and Lightning fan.  If any were to leave, I'd just become a fan of another team.

No way in hell that I would vote to help pay for a pro sports stadium... Absolutely I would vote to help pay for an OCS.

 

Such a dilemma.

The Rays, located on the Tampa side,in a modern stadium would be a ****** gold mine.

A wise owner will pull together the backing him/her self. Maybe a guarantee or something from the gov would be helpful.

It would be an incredible thing and people in the business of baseball know it.

You don't get a choice with a pro stadium.

This is what happens with a pro stadium, a back room deal announced out of the blue. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9959440/atlanta-braves-leaving-turner-field-relocating-cobb-county-2017
