[tweet:3skaeug7]https://twitter.com/TBTimes_Rays/status/1016750228836356100[/tweet:3skaeug7] new stadium coming to Tampa's historic Ybor City area. Currently a bunch of nothing under the highway

Looks like a permanent dome.

But with glass, so that grass can grow? Maybe they've learned a better way to do this than Houston fifty years ago?

They're saying a fixed translucent dome -- which seems like a big mistake -- but I don't see a mention of real grass. Looks pretty small. [url]http://www.tampabay.com/photos/2018/07/10/your-first-look-rays-new-stadium-renderings/

Would be the smallest ballpark, 28K capacity, may as well be a hockey arena. Also no one currently knows who will pay for all this so finished product could be different

I wouldn't be surprised if the finished product is in another state.

Whenever I hear someone complain about Citi Field, I think about that design where the playing field slid outside. I notice no one else has gone for that....
