ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Since the Tampa Bay Rays began their search for a site to build a new stadium more than a decade ago, sea level rise has changed where they can look, team president Brian Auld said Tuesday.
“Sites that once appeared to be great places to build a ballpark are now expected to be underwater,” Auld said during a panel announcing a new report on climate change from the Tampa Bay Partnership.
Auld is chairperson of the Tampa Bay Partnership’s Resilience Task Force. The group is made up of business leaders from across the region.
