Rays' Senior Vice President Michael Kalt told the Times the team won't push for a state sales tax rebate during the 2008 session, nor will the decision halt or delay the team's plans for a 35,000 seat, open-air stadium. "We said from the beginning that we don't see [the state money] as crucial," Kalt told the Times. "It's nice to have, but it's not essential. We're not in the business in pushing things through that we think unrealistic." |
According to a report in Tuesday's St. Petersburg Times, the Rays will not seek state aid for their proposed $450-million stadium on the team's current Spring Training site Al Lang Field on the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront.
