Default Rays propose new stadium

Southpinellas: Rays on the bay?

Quote:
Key points of the proposal

35,000-seat, open air stadium
Retractable covering stops rain
Sale of the Trop helps funding
No new city tax money, but possible sales tax revenues
Needs city voter approval


The retractable covering would be something like a sail, which I find fitting for the look, as well as a way to maintain an open air feel, but avoid heavy sun or rain. From how it reads it look like they are targeting a look similar to AT&T in SanFran, especially with Home Runs landing in the bay. Overall a good idea, with the HUGE obstacle of trying to sell the Trop first.
