Tampa Bay Rays and Pinellas County's deal for new stadium on pause

The Tampa Bay Rays say plans to build its new ballpark have been halted because Pinellas County didn’t finalize bonds last month. In a letter to county commissioners, the Major League Baseball team said it has suspended plans to build a new stadium and revitalize the Gas Plant District. The Rays said they put in decades of work and spent more than $50M to "bring this historic project to reality – a project that had been approved by the City of St. Petersburg and Pinellas County. Now, that enormous investment of human and financial capital has been jeopardized by the county’s failure to live up to its July agreement."
