243 - Trouble in Tampa Bay: Maybe the Rays are not Getting Their New Stadium After All w/ Dr. Elizabeth Strom

Dr. Elizabeth Strom joins us for an update on the Rays stadium situation. Season 2 Episode 243

Maybe we spoke too soon. Dr. Elizabeth Strom, a professor of urban politics and policy at The University of South Florida and an editor at DRays Bay, a Tampa Bay Rays blog on SB Nation, returns to our podcast this week. Two years ago, Episode 143 to be exact, Dr. Strom appeared to discuss what then looked like a solid deal for a new ballpark in St. Petersburg. A lot has happened since - most of it not good for Rays fans, at least Rays fans that want the team to stay in the Tampa/St. Pete area. Dr. Strom spills the tea and brings us up to date in this episode.
