Stadium options for the Rays in 2025 after Hurricane Milton severely damaged Tropicana Field's roof

While Tampa and St. Petersburg narrowly avoided a direct-hit landfall from Hurricane Milton, the massive storm still inflicted damage on the city. And now, the Tampa Bay Rays are looking for a new home.
