Rays 2013 Road to.......Tampa????

Rays start the season 4-5 (lost series to O's and Rangers, won series against Indians). As usual the main discussion is attendance and stadium location.

Looking at what a new stadium did for the Marlins, I question what one would actually do for attendance here in the Tampa Bay area. There is just not enough local team loyalty here - everyone is from somewhere else and most still root for the teams from their hometowns.

That being said, one of the new stadium proposals would have them building a park here in Carillon where I work. That would actually be pretty cool and would at least get me out to a lot more games.

Here is an artist's rendering. My office is located right about at the bottom right corner of the picture.

to me that is the only place the stadium should go, personally I don't really have a huge problem with the Trop (except the drive from Largo, which isn't too bad but still)
