The Florida Cabinet and Gov. Ron DeSantis agreed Tuesday to give Hillsborough College a 22-acre (49-hectare) plot of state land in Tampa to use for a proposed ballpark for the Rays. Last month, the Rays ownership entered a memorandum of understanding to build a stadium and mixed use entertainment district on the college campus, and to renovate some of the college’s buildings. A small section of the property, which is next to the New York Yankees’ spring training facility and across a highway from Raymond James Stadium, was owned by the state of Florida.
