I have a hunch that the Rowdies move to the new Rays ballpark once complete. I agree they'll probably play in the Rays new park, but still could have 3 out of 17 games per year in Tampa.

I'd be so down for that. Give season ticket holders a pre-sale shot at tickets or something like that if they can 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably will but that would be a dumb move. More kids in north Tampa and families that would come to the games at USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they plan on moving up to the MLS or are they happy playing in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they’ve been denied twice prior to the Rays ownership. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new baseball stadium going in down the street, I'd think it makes more since for the ownership group to keep the Rowdies where they are On 1/23/2024 at 7:27 PM, 79 Bull said: I agree they'll probably play in the Rays new park, I'm not so sure about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they stay at Al Lang (which is fine for lower-level soccer), I still believe playing a few games per season at the OCS would be both great for both the Rowdies/Rays and USF. I bet they could draw 10k to 15k in North Tampa on a few Saturday nights with the Rays and USF marketing behind the games. The student endzone would be for the rowdy supporters and the other endzone could be family general admission while selling the lower-level sidelines reserved.
