The damage to The Trop due to Hurricane Milton is so bad that repairs won't by done by opening day 2025. They might have to find a new location to play Rays home games for the 2025 season.


Options are...


The Marlins stadium in Miami

A minor league stadium in Durham North Carolina!


I always wanted NC to have a MLB team, if it was up to me I would bush the idea if building a new ballpark for the Rays in Tampa Bay and build a new stadium in ethier Charlotte or Raleigh/Durham area.

There are so many fukking people from Tampa living up here, they might as well move the baseball team too.

I don't blame them moving from Tampa to NC, NC has better weather to me. I like the cool weather during the fall and winter


The heat in FL is Yes, NC gets hot as well as does every state on the eastern side of U.S but that FL heat is something else


As someone whose been living in Tampa for a month now IMO it feels like the Rays are 3rd fiddle with the Bucs being number 1 and the Lighting (NHL team) being number 2. The Rays in Tampa might be the most irrelevant team in their city in the major four sports in the U.S I feel like if the Rays permanently left Tampa residents would be like
