St. Pete's a great little town. If you've got some cash, buy some rental property close to the stadium. It's going to be explode in value like Austin over the next 10 years.

Even the chitholes are in excess of $300/sft. Some near $600

Someone compare the Trop's geography to DFW. The Trop is like if the Rangers ballpark was _____________.

In Fort Worth, and in recent years much of the core demographic for baseball fans had moved to Frisco and Sachse.

In Arlington?
Right in the middle of the metro area and easy-ish for all to get to?

As there is no bay in north Texas, there is no comparison. But it outside the the main city. Maybe Fort Worth?

Most season ticket holders live in Tarrant County, so swing and miss again.

Most Rays season ticket holders are in Pinellas. Looks like a deep drive to me.

Season ticket holders don't indicate the entire fan base

Creative solution for TB is to do light renovation of existing stadium and build a new small stadium (30k?) in Tampa. Split home games between the two. Or even do that with a stadium in Orlando.
