After the failed attempt to build a new stadium in Tampa Bay, the Rays are starting to consider what happens after 2027 when their lease on Tropicana Field is complete.
Among those solutions being discussed is a two-city future, where the Rays build a new stadium in Tampa Bay, but only occupy it for the first half of the season, moving the second half of the year’s games to Montreal.
While the plan is in its nascent stages, the Rays have embraced the two-city solution as the most feasible to saving baseball in the Tampa Bay area after years of failed attempts to build a new stadium in the region, according to sources.
