Expect to hear suggestions that include Durham, North Carolina, home of their Triple-A team, and near Raleigh, which is hot for an expansion team; Nashville and Charlotte, which have Triple-A teams and expansion aspirations; and San Juan, Puerto Rico, which has hosted big-league games. (Las Vegas appears to be off the table given the Athletics’ plans to move there in 2028.)
Maybe, in what would be an ironic twist, even Olympic Stadium in Montreal, where the Rays previous explored playing split seasons, though in a new outdoor ballpark.
The largest stadium in the United States without a major-league team is Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska, the 24,000-seat home of the College World Series.
