The Rays reveal renderings of new $1.3 billion stadium in downtown St. Petersburg

The Tampa Bay Rays have unveiled new renderings for their proposed baseball stadium in downtown St. Petersburg, ahead of an upcoming City Council meeting.

The stadium plans will be discussed in a Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting on June 12th. The Tampa Bay Rays anticipate getting approvals in July and ultimately expect to begin construction in early 2025 with a planned opening in time for the 2028 baseball season.

Designed by architectural firm Populous, the stadium is set to be the most intimate in Major League Baseball (MLB) with a capacity of 30,000. This capacity includes between 27,000 and 29,000 fixed seats, with the remainder being standing room areas.

The Violet Stone pizzeria to relocate to larger space in Crescent Heights

The Violet Stone’s well-done Philadelphia-style pizza, with its crispy edges, generous layers of cheese, and fresh tomato sauce, has generated an incredible following since the pizzeria's debut last year. So much so that it has quickly outgrown its Kenwood shop. 

The Violet Stone, which opened a brick-and-mortar location in 2023 at 2134 9th Avenue North, will relocate later this year to 2609 Dr. MLK Jr. Street North in St. Pete's Crescent Heights community.

The space formerly housed the House of Pipes and Cigars and vegan cafe Neighborhood Joe, which relocated two blocks away to a space next to Trip’s Diner.
