3:16 St. Petersburg says there's no deadline for repairs
7:36 Takeaways: This isn't good
The Tampa Bay Rays are hopeful that Tropicana Field will be ready by opening day of the 2026 season, but St. Petersburg city officials recently informed the team that the city does not have a strict deadline to complete the repairs caused by Hurricane Milton.
At the end of 2024, Rays president Matt Silverman wrote a letter to the city of St. Petersburg saying the team expects Tropicana Field to be repaired in time for the start of the 2026 season. He added that "massive logistical and revenue challenges" would arise if the Rays were to begin that season in another location.

St. Petersburg city administrator Rob Gerdes replied to Silverman in a letter dated Jan. 15, saying the city is under no contractual obligation to fulfill the team's wishes by a certain date.
"We look forward to cooperating to attempt to achieve the mutual goal of making Tropicana Field suitable for Major League Baseball games by opening day of the 2026 season," St. Petersburg city administrator Rob Gerdes wrote. "However, it is important to reiterate that the current Use Agreement governs the obligations of the parties and any correspondence between the City of St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay Rays does not alter those obligations."
