New Ray's Statium

Wow. Pretty cool.

 

Didn't they change their name for Devil Rays to Rays the other day too?

 

lol, they even went as far as to set up a swear jar type thing where if you say "devil rays" instead of "rays", you have to make a donation and all the money goes to charity. they even sent a sportswriter, i can't remember who it was but it was in SI this week, a letter requesting a donation for saying devil rays.
it's a cool stadium, and i agree with the story, it's reminiscent of olympic stadium the way the thing jets out in centerfield. the one thing that i wish they had of done with bush when they built it a couple years back was put a retractable roof on it. i used to be strongly against domed baseball stadiums, until i went to a game at bank one with the roof closed. man, i'm getting too old to be sitting out there in 100+ degree heat +humidity, lol.

 

So what's their new mascot? A Sun, just like the baskeball team?

 

I like to see that during a good Florida hurricane.

 

hahaha...Thats exactly what i was thinking.

It looks neat though, i really like the design.

 

It will probably help move the team to a different city thinking it'll help the team succeed. By move, I mean the winds will physically pick it up and throw it down! lol

 

That stadium looks amazing, it's a shame that since the Ray's announced their plans, the Tampa Tribune has been very negative.

 

Yeah, that'll pack 'em in. Especially around mid-August when it's 100 degrees out, 150% humidity and the Rays are 20 games out.
