Kriseman, Hillsborough Leaders Planning Next Moves on Rays Stadium Saga

Following the kickoff of the city's "Baseball Forever" campaign, aimed at helping the Rays build a new stadium in Downtown St. Pete, Mayor Rick Kriseman is looking to join the team on its inaugural trip to Cuba.

A spokesman for the mayor confirmed Friday the trip is being planned, although few specifics are available at the moment. Kriseman has long advocated for improved relations between the US and Cuba.

Meanwhile, Hillsborough County leaders, including Commissioner Ken Hagan and Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, have scheduled their next stadium meeting with the Rays for March 18. The information was included in public records obtained Friday.
