(The Center Square) – With a crucial vote scheduled Tuesday for the Pinellas County Commission on previously-delayed stadium bonds, the Tampa Bay Rays’ owner is saying a move to another city isn’t off the table.

The commission is scheduled to vote on the $335 million worth of bonds to help build a new $1.2 billion stadium in St. Petersburg. The Major League Baseball team will receive $600 million from taxpayers for the Tropicana Field replacement, which is scheduled to open in 2028 and anchor a $6.5 billion development in the 86-acre Historic Gas Plant District.
