With the selection, Welch sought to remake history, trying to keep the Rays in St. Petersburg after the team’s threats to leave, to repay the mostly Black community that was plowed over for a stadium, and to court baseball by building a new district that creates jobs and offers affordable homes.
“The process was detailed and transparent, and as your mayor, I have done my homework.” Welch said. “I am fully confident that this decision is the best path forward for our city.
The Rays made their pitch as part of a joint proposal to build a new, modern, 30,000-seat ballpark closer to the northeast part of the Tropicana Field site and to develop the area’s 86 acres with international real estate investment and development group Hines. In addition to a stadium, they propose building a senior living facility, 40,000 square feet of conference space as part of the ballpark space and a new Woodson African American Museum of Florida at the development’s entryway on Booker Creek. The team also would make a $10 million donation to the museum and build affordable housing elsewhere in the city.
