There are plans to build a new stadium for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, which is planned to be created on St. Petersburg's downtown waterfront. There have been plans for this for quite a while, but many details have been becoming more clear over time. Some details still have yet to be revealed, but they will come out over time.
This new stadium should prove to be a good stimulator of the economy for the Tampa and St. Petersburg area from all the job opportunities it will provide. There should be many thousands of jobs in the area for construction of the stadium, and then over two thousand permanent jobs upon completion. Tropicana field is not very old, and it is a pretty nice stadium, so I don't see why they feel the need to build a new one. However, it should end up being good for the local economy in the long run.
