TAMPA, Fla. -- The Rays are all in for building a new ballpark in Tampa, at a location in historic Ybor City.
"The Ybor site was chosen through a collaborative, cooperative process with Tampa and Hillsborough County leadership," said Rays principal owner Stu Sternberg on Friday at a news conference at the Tampa Baseball Museum in Ybor City. "It represents the finest opportunity for Major League Baseball to thrive in this region for generations to come.
"This is where we want to be playing baseball, and the possibilities are very, very exciting to me and my organization, and to Major League Baseball, and to all of our fans.
