Part 4/6:
One of the focal points of this proposal is the Tampa Bay Rays, who recently withdrew from a $1.3 billion development agreement in St. Petersburg. The local sports expert Richard Capu shared insights indicating that this might be the best opportunity Orlando has ever had to bring an MLB team to the area. He pointed out that the Rays have been struggling financially and reliant on revenue-sharing initiatives.
Capu posed questions about whether a stadium in Orlando would prove more profitable than the current situation in St. Petersburg, highlighting the problematic location of the existing stadium as a significant factor stifling the franchise's growth.
