The support is there for a new stadium in the next several years provided that doesn't put a massive burden on the public; it just seems that most wanted to see it not on the waterfront (either up in the Toytown area or at the Trop's current site) and with a retractable rather than the open-air sail-canvas I went to see the Rays-Marlins game a couple Saturday nights ago, and I have to say that after having attended literally dozens of Rays games where the attendance was south of 12,000 if lucky (and a handful where it was north of that), it's a completely different ballpark when there are 35,000 people actually there...and they're cheering on the Rays! The amenities there are fine, and the sightlines as well. The problem is the place is an absolute mausoleum when no-one is there....truly depressing and I think that's a reason why a lot of people there went once a year if that. I'm glad they're finally taking advantage of the weirdness of the space: using cowbells and noisemakers, putting lights up on the darned catwalks (that's an older "improvement" but still). The main thing though is to have fans there, and they have that now, and I think some sustained winning will finally allow the area to blossom into the strong market I know it can be.
