Tampa Bay Rays Identify 7 Potential Stadium Sites

The Tampa Tribune just broke a story that Rays fans will find particularly interesting; the Rays have identified 7 potential sites for the new stadium (all in Pinellas County). The listing of the sites is below as well as a link to the TBO.com article. The St. Pete Times also reported on these sites stating the the Carillon site was particularly interesting (read the article here).

The 10-member panel is charged with recommending a site for a stadium to county officials. All seven sites are in Pinellas County:

• Derby Lane

• Toytown Landfill

• Carillon Town Center

• Al Lang Field / Progress Energy Park

• St. Petersburg Clearwater Airport/Airco Golf Course

• Sod Farm (near ValPak Offices)

• Tropicana Field

Below is a Google Map that shows you where all of these locations are. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the Rays are thinking a lot about bringing this team closer to the center of all that is Tampa Bay. That's a smart move, in my opinion.
