ST. PETERSBURG — It was a pointed musical choice: Minutes before the official announcement of a deal for a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium, Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)” played over a speaker system at Tropicana Field. The message, like that of the whole to-do, was that, after years of waiting and debating, a plan for a new stadium is finally here. Officially, it’s not yet .
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.
Disney and Major League Baseball have announced that the Tampa Bay Rays will be holding their spring training at Disney s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in 2023.
