The Tampa Bay Rays have unveiled plans for their proposed new stadium in Tampa.

The team presented renderings of their plans in a press conference on Tuesday. The structure will feature a fixed translucent roof with sliding glass walls that open completely. Other features include patio and fountain seating, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.

The stadium project is estimated to cost $892 million. The roof would cost $240 million in that total, according to Topkin.

"It is not just a ballpark, its a community asset," Rays senior vice president Melanie Lenz said.
