Rays Have a Potential Deal with Hillsborough College for Tampa Stadium

The HCC Board of Trustees will consider a non-binding MOU on Jan. 20 to outline terms for a stadium on Hillsborough Community College's Dale Mabry campus.
According to the meeting agenda, the MOU would let both parties draft project agreements, but it is non-binding and can be terminated by the Hillsborough Community College Board.
A vote could enable a plan for more than 100 acres of mixed‑use development including a ballpark, with Rays proposing affordable housing, parks, retail and a commercial district at Dale Mabry campus.
The Rays item is the sole agenda item and administrators recommended approval; Greg Celestan, Chair of HCC Board of Trustees, will urge new academic buildings and temporary classrooms.
Rays owners say they prefer Tampa and aim to open a new ballpark by April 2029, with Ken Babby, Rays CEO, saying `We need a great public-private partnership`.
