The Tampa Bay Rays are inching closer to actually playing in Tampa.

Hillsborough County Commissioner Ken Hagan has been working with club officials for the past year and a half to identify the location for a new Major League Ballpark complex. On Tuesday, he announced the spot: Tampa's Ybor City neighborhood bordered by Channelside Drive, E. 4th Street, N. 15th Street and Adamo Drive.

"This is a significant step on moving the team to Hillsborough County," Hagan said.

The Rays' lease at Tropicana Field reportedly runs through 2027.
