The Tampa Bay Rays are giving fans a glimpse of their proposed new stadium, set to open in 2029. Renderings show a grand plaza, rays touch tanks, and a large sunroof over the field. The stadium will also feature a first-of-its-kind viewing screen in center field and neighborhoods offering different food, drink, and entertainment options.
Stadium Details
The new stadium will be located on approximately 130 acres in Tampa’s Westshore District and Hillsborough College’s Dale Mabry campus. With an estimated capacity of 31,000, the ballpark is expected to be the most intimate in Major League Baseball, providing an unmatched fan experience.
The team agreed to a memorandum of understanding with Hillsborough County in May, and the stadium is set to open in 2029. The Rays returned to an updated Tropicana Field for the 2026 season after playing their entire 2025 home schedule at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa while damage to the Trop caused by Hurricane Milton in October 2024 was repaired.
