A new proposal to reimagine Tropicana Field and the surrounding area includes a stadium option. It also accommodates the Tampa Bay Rays, who will remain in St. Petersburg through 2028.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The local development team also realizes that the Rays could continue playing at the Trop until after the 2033 baseball season. Identifying a new site, securing another stadium deal and completing construction will take a new ownership group several years, necessitating the need for a lease extension.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In June, Darren Hayes left Tierra Verde Marina Resort in St. Petersburg on a 22-foot pontoon boat for a 5,500 mile solo journey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The trip ended Sept. 12 at the same location after Hayes, 41, spent 94 days on the water. He celebrated the achievement at a welcome home party at the Island Grille & Raw Bar in St. Pete Sept. 27.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
