After facing uncertainty following the damage caused by Hurricane Milton, the Tampa Bay Rays have now expressed their support for a $55.7 million city plan to repair Tropicana Field in time for the 2026 season opener. The team is currently making arrangements to play their upcoming games at the New York Yankees' spring training home in Tampa.
The Rays' co-president, Matt Silverman, emphasized the team's commitment to the reconstruction efforts in an email to the St. Petersburg chief administrator. He clarified that the city is responsible for funding the repairs as per the existing contract with the Rays.
