The strange but true tale of dueling polls in the Rays stadium saga. A survey by a non-partisan political group says voters hate the deal. A team poll says residents are behind the deal. One is more accurate than the other.

I just want them to stay in the bay
Hopefully the city council is smart enough to realize everything besides the stadium, the entertainment/hospitality area around the stadium, and price tag is just noise and interest groups looking for their piece of the pie and politicians looking for a surface level campaign points that doesn’t make the area better.
Not a Stu supporter in any shape or form but I want my team to stay. Get it done.
Voters are against it because the country learned with Kronke they can just tell billionaires to fuck themselves when they try to give themselves millions of their money.
Any sane rays fan hates the plan because they are building it in the same-ass problamatic location that is miles and bridges away from the population center. Its an expensive mistake, except its being made on purpose. And the mlb is cool with it for who knows why.
Just put it in Tampa proper and it’s all peaches and gravy
On the water would be even better from a view perspective but maybe not so for traffic
Moral of the story here is the rich suits will win in the end
To be quite honest, the investment goes far beyond a stadium. This includes a concert venue, an entertainment district and more. What people fail to get is that if the Rays leave, we are losing a major chunk of Tax and tourist revenue. Furthermore, that piece of property then gets sold to the highest bidder to be redeveloped into 15 square blocks of condos.
Idk about the rest of you, but I’d rather have the stadium…
Both polls could be accurately reporting their results.
