    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.

    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.
