The redevelopment team led by the Rays and Hines showed plans for not only a new stadium but also affordable housing, office space, an African American history museum, and park space.

Following the announcement of a plan by the Tampa Bay Rays and Hines to redevelop the Tropicana Field site, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said "Tampa remains a great option for the team."

Mayor Ken Welch has had four proposals to consider that would completely redevelop the historic Gas Plant District and re-imagine what the next Tampa Bay Rays ballpark may look like. Monday, St. Pete residents will know his decision. But will the team actually stay in the city?

The cost of a new ballpark on the allotted 17 acres of land in St. Petersburg's Gas Plant District redevelopment has a price tag in the billions, and it is uncertain how it is going to be paid for, according to a spokesperson with the city.

Mayor Ken Welch is expected to decide on which proposal they’re moving forward with by the end of the month. Meanwhile, consultants hired by the city chose Sugar Hill and Hines/Tampa Bay Rays as the two best options that fit the city’s wants and needs.

The mayor of St. Petersburg still has a couple of weeks to decide which of four proposals he will choose for redevelopment of the Historic Gas Plant District, where the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field sits. The city's chamber of commerce, though, is ready to make its choice.

The mayors of Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater met at the University of South Florida’s St. Pete campus Tuesday to talk about 2023 plans and how they think things across the Tampa Bay area are going.

St. Pete city leaders are asking for the public's feedback on four proposals that would completely change the landscape at the Tropicana Field site. Residents have this month to offer their opinions before the mayor chooses one of the four potential developers.

It's been months and years in the making, but St. Pete is taking its final steps to figure out what to do with the Tropicana Field site. The city narrowed down the list of possible developers to four finalists - but who are they and what are they pitching?

The city of St. Petersburg has released plans from four developers that transform the Trop and the 86-acre part of downtown that surrounds the stadium.
