“We are encouraged to take this early but very important step forward in bringing a shared and innovative concept to life for all of Tampa Bay. We are grateful for today’s unanimous vote, which reflects what’s possible when we all listen, learn and work together to realize a vision that will make our community better. Our partnership with Hillsborough College creates meaningful opportunities for students through education, workforce development, and real-world learning, while strengthening the connection between the team and the community we call home.
We have a lot of work ahead, but we will move forward energized by the momentum behind this effort and excited to continue our work toward building a lasting partnership that creates a forever home for the Tampa Bay Rays and serves our fans, students, and the broader community for generations to come.”
