Getting ready to start my Cardinals dinasty?
Is there a way to get the Rays into Steinbrenner Field?
I see that the Athletics are playing in the ballpark in Sacramento.

The Rays and the A's ballpark situation has been mentioned several times. I haven't seen where anyone has commented that adding those parks requires estimating their park factors against the other parks and then adjusting the factors of every other park so everything adds up to 1.

We unfortunately do not have a 3D model of the field, however the dimensions I believe are either the same or similar to Yankees Stadium. For my universe I altered one of the minor league 3D stadiums and put some Rays logos in it, and put the park factors same as Yankee Stadium.

This excellent article suggests it might play even more hitter friendly due to the heat and humidity in Tampa.

It would be nice if someone made a 3D model. I expect the Rays will play at Steinbrenner for several years. It will take some time to complete the in progress renovations of Stade Olympique

Today is the last day the Rays have to meet the financial requirements for a new park in St Pete. They said a couple of weeks ago they wouldn't do it.

Pinellas County is considering asking for damages from the Rays for the money the County spent working on the deal. St Pete might do the same.

Wow, up to 47,000, thank you. Wow, I hadn't checked for weeks. Oct 9 2024 its 79,561. Why do people use different players, different lineups, different strategy, development, talent change randomness, and the development lab, but judge the game on whether it produces historical statistics?
