The brief
The Tampa Bay Rays have released the first interior renderings and a video of their proposed MLB stadium in Tampa. The design features a retractable batter's eye.
To facilitate construction, the team is pitching a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) arrangement for the $2.3 billion project. Coverage from MLB.com, the Tampa Bay Times, and Bleacher Report focuses on the visual unveiling of the facility.
Meanwhile, The Business Journals and Construction Dive highlight the financial and contractual framework, noting that Florida has provided $50 million for the project after North Carolina's budget excluded MLB stadium funding. Future developments depend on the adoption of the CMAR arrangement and the finalization of the $2.3 billion funding structure.
