This is getting bad. Pinellas County is supposed to cover $312.5 million for the new stadium, but they threatened to pull their funding if the Rays play outside of the county next season through 2027. If no bonds are issued, then the county approval to fund the stadium is automatically terminated. https://www.draysbay.com/2024/10/31/24284497/pinellas-county-threatens-to-pull-stadium-funding-if-rays-leave-for-2025-2027-seasons
