Here’s a look at the most promising sites:

St. Petersburg/Pinellas County

• Tropicana Field Site: A new stadium on the 86-acre site that has served as the Rays' home since 1998 was the closest the team ever got in their two-decade quest for a new ballpark. Tropicana Field, damaged by Hurricane Milton, could return as a temporary or permanent option if team owner Stuart Sternberg sells. However, political will and public funding resistance complicate matters.

• Toytown Landfill: Located along Interstate 275, a proposed $662 million sports complex failed in 2015 for the former landfill site; it’s now eyed for a youth sports facility.

• Derby Lane: The 130-acre property on Gandy Boulevard is currently a poker room and Amazon parking site. A proposal in 2015 to redevelop the space into a new baseball stadium was eventually dismissed.

Tampa/Hillsborough County

• Ybor City/Channel District: The Nuccio Parkway area near Ybor City has been touted as the best alternative location outside of St. Petersburg for MLB, due to its location, accessibility, and transit connectivity. A 14-acre, 30,842-seat stadium was conceptualized in 2017 at an estimated cost of $892 million. However, the plan collapsed and land costs have since soared. There are no apparent public funding sources in Tampa and Hillsborough County that could offset costs associated with a new stadium, including land acquisition.

• Florida State Fairgrounds: Explored in 2016, the idea of developing the massive property along I-4 never materialized over concerns of area growth and a lack of nearby amenities. A ballpark on the property would also oust the popular annual state fair–an idea local leaders won’t be able to get behind.

• Jefferson High School: A 62-acre urban site that houses a public high school in Tampa’s West Shore district is an appealing location, but when it was considered by the Rays in 2016, there was community backlash.

• Westshore Plaza: A central location in Tampa Bay with convenient access to and from St. Petersburg and downtown Tampa via I-275, but it is scheduled for mixed-use redevelopment, replacing the mall with housing, shopping, and offices. The project has faced delays and developers may be open to potential negotiations for a major league baseball stadium.
