OT: Buccaneers, Rays & Other Tampa Bay Sports Teams

[FinnLightning26]

$55 million is 4.2% of the projected $1.3 billion dollar stadium.

If the Rays can structure paying the repair over 10 years, it's nominal. $5.5 million a year. That's if they don't get any insurance or tax money.

Everything will probably cost more than it's projected, but move the numbers up a bit. $6.5 million a year, etc. Basically free.

I wish I could say that.

Just get out man. Holy crap.

Demand team team play in Tropicana Field til lease expires. Refuse to fix stadium so they can play until Tropicana Field lease expires.

This is literally St. Pete politics in a nutshell
