Hats off to the Rays
Played first game of 2nd half of the year tonight.. won again and enjoy a 1.5 game lead over the Bosox. It's great... Leo, Elvis and Bigs likely hangin' in Hillsborough celebrating as we speak...

and Im inclined to think they're not a fluke, they are for REAL...A solid effort allthe way around...
Whats the attendance looking like this year?? Has it picked up since the fans realized they have a contender?

They have played well so far but it is a shame they don't draw to the level of their talent. Listening to their radio guy call a game on XM is akin to what it must have been like to get the news in USSR during the 80's....

The stadium issue is back burnered for now. The economic timing was awful. People around here are still worried about property tax and insurance issues.
The models of the new stadium look great on paper. The heat and rain during the summer are a big concern. It started raining Monday about the eighth inning. If we weren't inside it would have been an hour at least to finish that game.

The keys to the Rays future is will they pay for some of the guys to stay once they reach free agency. The payroll now I believe is in the $25 million range.

My fear is they move from St Pete to Tampa. I would still go just not as much. The roof is actually not retractable. If can find the design link I will post it. The material is similiar to a sail and would be raised over the field.
Here's one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rays_Ballpark
