Looks barely bigger than some minor league parks, but maybe the Rays are being realistic for how many people will actually show up to games. Edit: The more I look at it, the more it seems like there's enough seating, plus it doesn't show the upper deck very well, so there's probably lots of seats up there that are missing.

The Rays have already said that any new stadium is going to be "right-sized" and won't be anywhere near the capacity of the Trop (which sits, what, 42K?).

I'm also wondering if this glass would make it hotter inside? I feel like there is a reason we don't have a lot of glass roofs in the South.

Overall I think it's kind of a neat design but stadiums that have those jumbo recliner chairs behind home plate look dumb and I hate them.

I'm not so sure the new Rays park will ever get built. Voters here hate paying taxes for anything and I'm not sure there are enough city/county officials willing to stick their necks out for it. Even if it's not as big a scam as the Marlins project was, that left a really bad taste in people's mouths.

I look forward to the details of how this is getting paid for coming out. Raymond James Stadium is still a bit of a bitter topic for a lot of people given the funding of that, and a lot of people point at the Lightning ownership as a positive example since they had a massive revamp of Amalie Arena paid for by the owner himself (who's also investing in a massive project around the arena). As said, the owners could foot 90% of the bill, and there would still be issues with a lot of people. I also don't really trust Sternberg in going about this in the most sensible way given how the old project went over, and how much he enjoys spending money.

Unless wikipedia is lying to me, Tropicana only seats 31,042, so it isn't that much smaller than what they have now anyway.

Last I checked, you can get an OF seat for $18 and it's at least $20 to park at the Trop. Parking and a cheap seat at this place is gonna be $70 minimum, I don't think there's a market here for that.

I believe that is after they covered a bunch of upper deck seating with tarps/signage because they weren't selling out, it's definitely expandable to 40,000+ e;fb

Then the team could travel to east coast away games in their stadium.

bawfuls posted:It will absolutely increase the thermal load on the stadium and the cooling requirements of the HVAC system yes. It's a giant greenhouse. I was thinking about the Mall of America that has a lot of glass on the roof. It auto-tints which I believe helps in the Summer but it also allows them to not need central heating all the way up in Minnesota. Glass roofs seem like a better idea in the North where Summer is short.

Ion Storm's glass-roof penthouse famously cost some ungodly amount of 1990s dollars to keep cool in the Dallas heat. And it didn't matter because everyone covered their cubicles in fabric to block out the glare.
