Description
What's in a name? At least enough for one St. Petersburg council member to suggest a change for the Tampa Bay Rays.
District 6 Councilwoman Gina Driscoll submitted a new item to the next city council's meeting, set for Dec. 14. In it, Driscoll proposed to include the new name for the Rays within the ongoing negotiations happening for a new stadium.
"Respectfully requesting that the Administration include in stadium negotiations a team name change from 'Tampa Bay Rays' to 'St. Petersburg Rays' and present a report on the subject to City Council during its scheduled meeting on January 4, 2024," the proposed agenda item reads.
