>>It’s unfathomable to think that Tampa Bay may soon be without a major league baseball team, but it’s a VERY real possibility – and one we won’t accept.
Major League Baseball is making demands and so are we! If you’re a Fan or a local business owner who wants to show your support, sign the petition below and do your part to help keep the Rays where they belong, right here in the Bay area.


How about going to the games?

In past years the Giants and Jays were rumored to be going to Tampa Bay; now TB may be having a tough time keeping its team. This year seemed promising but the team's been fading lately...(also Montreal supposedly wants baseball back. Good luck; I think Tor. may play some "home games" at Stade Olympique)

GOOD SEATS STILL AVAILABLE

The stadium is severely dated, located in a ghetto, and very difficult for most of the area to get too.

Otherwise its great fun to go to the game. Kinda scary getting home though.

How many of the 1.5 million “fans” are Red Sox fans?

Who is Ray and if he can’t keep track of his baseball we shouldn’t keep bailing him out.

Too hot to sit there during the day....too scary to return home late at night.

Major League Baseball, like the NFL has too many teams.
This dilution of talent is, in my opinion one of the factors in the doping scandle(s.
Contract back to 20 or even 16 teams and watch the game improve.
The leftovers can form a ‘Not quiet major league’ league as a feeder league. Same as Triple A today, only better.

Isn’t their lease iron clad through the year 2027 though? Or is there a buyout? Is there any real threat that the Rays could move to another city, or out of the Tampa Bay area, before 2027???

The Largest “Mistakes” that MLB make in the past 20 or so years:
1. Bud Selig
2. Tampa Bay “Rays”
3. Interleague “Play”
4. 1994
5. The “DH”

There is a spirited move in Montreal to bring baseball back. Charlotte and Portland have been wanting MLB for years as well.
