Rays unveil their plans for an Ybor City ballpark: All our coverage of the stadium
It includes see-through sliding glass walls, a fixed translucent roof, and is integrated into the neighborhood with an evolving design.
The roof: The translucent section of the roof, which will cover the outfield, will be made from a synthetic fluoropolymer known as Polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE. Architects looked at using other transparent material that admits enough ultraviolet light to grow a grass field. But even with extensive use of grow lamps, the team would have faced replacing the field four or more times a season, said Rays chief development officer Melanie Lenz. That’s why the new stadium will have artificial turf.

Beckham's New Economic Projections for His Stadium Are Probably Nonsense
For the last 24 hours, Miami officials have been furiously pushing the latest pitch from David Beckham and financier Jorge Mas for a new soccer stadium at Melreese Country Club, largely by insisting the deal would pour millions into city coffers. City Manager Emilio Gonzalez repeatedly estimated that $44 million per year in new taxes could result, prompting reporters to ask: Where the hell are those numbers coming from?
The city has now released a spreadsheet detailing exactly how much money Mas and Becks are promising from their Major League Soccer stadium built on public land. And, in news that should surprise no one who has ever followed a stadium push, the economic figures are almost certainly nonsense.

The Beckham group still has a stadium deal with Miami-Dade to unravel. What's next?
As David Beckham prepares to swoop into Miami City Hall next week to push a plan to transform a municipal golf course into a massive office park and soccer complex, it's easy to forget about another hard-fought win: the stadium site the partnership secured just a year ago in Overtown.
Beckham and partners won a lopsided vote before the Miami-Dade County Commission in June 2017 to secure the right to pay $9 million for three acres of county land within city limits. The county truck depot sits near the Miami River and next to six acres that an entity controlled by Beckham partners bought for about $19 million in 2016.
The lingering Overtown deal with Miami-Dade captures the sharp and bold pivot demanded by Beckham's newest lead partner, Jorge Mas, after the leading Miami executive and his brother, Jose Mas, joined the venture in late 2017. Word quickly leaked that the Mas brothers — who lead MasTec, a global infrastructure firm with $6 billion in revenue — wanted out of the all-but-finalized Overtown site in favor of pursuing a larger parcel somewhere else.

THEY’LL BE BACK: Commisso: Cosmos will return in 2019
Regardless what transpires in his pursuit to purchase a majority share of A.C. Milan, Cosmos owner Rocco B. Commisso says one thing is certain: the Cosmos will be back in 2019.
Speaking to analyst Sal Rosamilia on the streaming broadcast at halftime of Cosmos B’s 4-0 victory over Kingston Stockade FC Saturday night, Commisso stated the team will return next year. He did not offer any details.
“For the Cosmos fans, this is all good,” he said. “This is all good for us. Whether I buy a team in Italy or not, I still expect to have the Cosmos here next year. We have some fights to fight, but stay tuned, and we’ll see what happens in the court system and how we develop this league and how we develop the team.”
Commisso has placed a bid to purchase A.C. Milan in Italy’s Serie A, but it appears the deal has hit a snag.
The North American Soccer League, of which Commisso is chairman, has filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation.
The league and Cosmos are on hiatus this season after the USSF rescinded the NASL’s Division Two sanctioning in 2017.
In the team’s place, Cosmos B is playing for the organization’s colors.
The team captured the North Atlantic Conference crown with a 10-0-0 record in the National Premier Soccer League and will host defending champion Elm City Express in a conference semifinal at Hofstra Soccer Stadium in Hempstead, N.Y. Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
