South of South Street Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 This is a concept for a new Rays Stadium in downtown Tampa between Florida Ave, Washington, Morgan and Brorein Streets. The stadium barely fits the site but at a league smallest 32,000 seats it just makes it. Is it the right place for a stadium? I dont know….I’ve never been to Tampa but it seems like a good location. Also, I dont know where everyone will park. Keep in mind that I am an architect and spend many hours on these stadiums. https://ibb.co/MgqLN94 https://ibb.co/FxHkJXH https://ibb.co/qpRpMvd https://ibb.co/HB2DfPz https://ibb.co/rdG8gNb South of South Street 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted the feeling of a huge tiki hut with fans and lots of air moving so I have wood loivers surrounding the the seating bowl with a modern cap on it.

Blindsay Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 It’s good man. But it doesn’t feel MLB Caliber. Like only two levels? Also could you put the area that you’re trying to put the stadium in on Google Maps? 1 Quote Im an isles,rangers,devils,Sabres,Yankees,Mets,Braves,hawks,knicks,nets,bills,giants,falcons,and jets fan.

StaatsBrett Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Definitely should have more suites behind home plate and maybe a third upper deck as it does look at the moment a minor league stadium . but other than that maybe incorporate a parking garage underneath the field 2 Quote http://i.imgur.com/4gh4ZhB.png http://i.imgur.com/DmN6VqA.png http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/103365-star-based-championship-signatures-by-request/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really cant fit a huge third deck in a downtown site. Its also do to the the Rays not drawing a big crowd. Also with a lower seating bowl I can shade more seating areas.

The water table is only a few feet down and would flood anything down there. This is why most if not all of the Florida peninsula doesnt have basements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really cant fit a huge third deck in a downtown site. Its also do to the the Rays not drawing a big crowd. Also with a lower seating bowl I can shade more seating areas. The reason the Rays don't draw big crowds is due mostly to the Trop, which is not only an awful venue, it's also incredibly hard to get to from Tampa due to being on a Pennisula. With a 32,000 seat stadium in Downtown Tampa, the team would be playing to near capacity. The Stadium is good, but considering the humidity of Tampa and the storms, it could do with a roof. The stadium also really needs a proper batters eye, I don't think an offset giant Coke Bottle and a tree is going to cut it. I like the brickwork, but it would almost certainly need to be padded to protect outfielders. Things that might improve the stadium - A retractable roof - A proper Batters Eye - The Brickwork incorporated into more areas of the stadium, particularly the concourse. - The Team Gradient around the Stadium. - A nicer scoreboard, one inspired by the architecture and signage in Ybor City. All of those improvements would really bring the stadium up to MLB standards. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
