New Rays Stadium in Mid-Pinellas County?
Would you attend more Tampa Bay Rays games at the proposed location in Carillon Park than the one at Tropicana Field?
A local developer has pitched a plan to build a new stadium for the Tampa Bay Rays at Carillon Park, in the Feather Sound area.
The Ulmerton Road location appears to be a shorter commute for Rays fans who live in Hillsborough County and middle and northern Pinellas County, including Dunedin.
Old Northeast-Downtown St. Pete Patch reported that Steven Kurcan, project manager with CityScape, says the location of a stadium plays a big factor when it comes to fans attending games. MLB said a stadium has to be within a 30-minute drive of a stadium to be successful, Kurcan explained.
