A new stadium should not be paid for with tax payer money.
Let those super rich owners pay for their own place of employment like all other buissneses.
I am tired of these guys raping the tax money that could be used for public safety and education.
Let them take out a mortgage like everyone else, If they can afford to give a 44 year old pitcher 23 million for part of a season then they can afford to pay for their own stadium. 
Also they should not waste their money for the extra expense of a retractable roof because it will hardly ever be open, when is their not Heat and humidity or thunder storms during the baseball season.

New stadium needed, preferably w/retractable roof. However, it should be funded with strictly private investment monies. The team needs this if it is to stay in the Tampa/St.Pete area. By the way, what has happened since I last posted on June 12th? Rays were close to 500 ball, had new arms arriving from AAA and the hitters were scorching the ball. Now it seems very unlikely Rays will win 70 games. Hope after the All-Star break they get rolling, but the Yankees are scheduled to visit Rays, even if they are also struggling, Rays have to rebound. 62 Mets won their first World Series in 1969 after Casey Stengel left and Gil Hodges arrived, lets hope Madden gets lucky.
