Rays President Acknowledges Tough Road Ahead For Split-Season Plan

Brian Auld speaks at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club

STEVE NEWBORN / WUSF PUBLIC MEDIA

Tampa Bay Rays President Brian Auld made his case for splitting the team's home season with Montreal during an appearance Thursday at the Suncoast Tiger Bay Club in St. Petersburg.

Auld said despite the obvious challenges of building two stadiums in two countries, it's a fight worth fighting.

Listen Listening...1:05 Listen to an audio version of this story
He responded to a question whether the team would pursue a Major League Soccer franchise for the Tampa Bay Rowdies to help fill a stadium that would he home for only 40 games a season.

"Nothing would make me happier than to have the MLS Rowdies and the Tampa Bay/Montreal All American/North American Snow Geese playing in the same stadium year-round," he said to laughter, "and I believe if we can accomplish that, you will have people who will look back on this moment and say thank goodness we were bold enough to try."

Auld acknowledged they've got a tough road ahead. But, it's worth trying.

"We've got to get Major League Baseball signed off, we've got to get Montreal, and we've got to get Tampa Bay. Each of them is in the beginning stages right now, but moving in the right direction," he said. "And I think as minds are opening, minds are changing, people are considering the economic realities of the two markets and what could be is becoming more and more exciting to more and more people."

Auld said the team is doing this to keep the Rays in Tampa Bay - at least half the year.

"One hundred percent of the reason we're doing this is to stay in Tampa Bay for generations to come," he said. "It's not a short-term solution. We'd have to have agreements in both markets for 30 years - that's the plan - no interest in going anywhere else."

The Rays are locked into a lease to keep them at Tropicana Field through the end of the 2027 season. Auld said any deals to provide a new home to the team have to be substantially completed by 2022 to be ready for the 2028 season.

Last week, Tampa's mayor and a Hillsborough County Commissioner said the county wants to be a part of the plan to spit seasons between Florida and Montreal.

Rays, Transit, Affordable Housing: Bay Area Mayors Agree - Mostly

St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman and Tampa Mayor Jane Castor spoke about a number of issues, including the Tampa Bay Rays and public transportation, at a Tampa Tiger Bay Club luncheon in Ybor City Friday.

When it comes to affordable housing, public transportation and baseball’s future in the region, the mayors of the Tampa Bay Area's two largest cities are in agreement - for the most part.

Speaking to members of the Tampa Tiger Bay Club at a luncheon in Ybor City Friday, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor and St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman laid out plans to address the issues critical to the area’s growth. They also stressed the need for cooperation.

With development in both cities booming, the pair say issues of public transportation and affordable housing go hand-in-hand.

"To me, you can't talk about housing affordability and creating more opportunities if you're not talking about transportation,” said Kriseman.

A report released last week by Castor’s Housing Affordability Advising Team found that as more businesses are moving to Tampa Bay, the rising cost of housing has pushed some long-time residents out. At the luncheon, Castor said the area’s reliance on cars doesn’t help matters.

"If we do transit-oriented development, then you can take that price of a car off the bottom line of a citizen, so it's critically important," said Castor.

The mayors say investing in downtown shuttle systems and expanding the Cross-Bay Ferry would make commuting across the bay easier by cutting down on traffic jams and addressing parking problems in both cities.

Throughout the luncheon, Castor and Kriseman stressed the importance of cooperation – even when it comes to the future of the region’s Major League Baseball team, the Tampa Bay Rays.

The announcement that the Rays – who have played in St. Petersburg for over 20 years - are seeking to split the season between Tampa Bay and Montreal, sparked rumors over whether the team would stay in St. Petersburg or make the move to a new stadium in Ybor City.

The team's Tropicana Stadium lease with St. Pete extends until 2027. Kriseman said that while the Rays are welcome to explore the idea of a split season, he has no intention of breaking the contract early.

“They absolutely can explore the split whether it’s in – Hillsborough, Tampa or St. Petersburg,” said Kriseman. “They just have to be looking at 2028 for when that split would begin."

While Castor did not say whether Tampa is seeking to snag the sports team, she confirmed that should the Rays relocate they would likely move into a smaller, open air stadium rather than the nearly $900 million ballpark initially proposed.

“We need to do everything that we can to keep the Rays here,” said Castor. “We're too big of an area to lose a major league sporting franchise.”

Despite some fuzziness on the details, both mayors agree that keeping the Rays in Tampa Bay is mutually beneficial.

“As long as we continue to work together like we’ve been doing, I think the future is really bright for this region and each of our cities,” said Kreisman.

Pareja, Nani Impressed with Preseason Progress

It is undeniably true that the results of preseason fixtures don’t actually matter. The points don’t start being calculated until February 29. That’s when we reach, in Luiz Muzzi’s words, the “real matches.”

But it doesn’t hurt to win them either.

Orlando City is making a habit of that this month. The Lions have taken five of the six friendlies they’ve played to date, including wins over the Montreal Impact, the Tampa Bay Rowdies, and reigning Icelandic champions KR Reykjavik, whom Orlando calmly dispatched 3-1 on Tuesday night.

‘Anna in the Tropics’ comes to Key West

The tropics and the American dream prove a volatile combination when Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” is read aloud to the workers in “Anna in the Tropics.” From left: Aramis Ikatu (Cheche), Christian Haler (Santiago), Mira Negron (Ofelia), Daniel T. Bochlas (Juan Julian), Francesca Silva (Conchita), Mathias Maloff (Eliades/Palomo) and Nayem Cardenas-Lopez (Marela). JOHNNY WHITE / COURTESY PHOTO

Cigars, love triangles and the words of Tolstoy all unfurl at The Studios of Key West this month. Nilo Cruz’s Pulitzer prize-winning play “Anna in the Tropics” runs Feb. 19-29, directed by Dennis Zacek, and assembles a Latinx cast of local favorites and rising performers.

This time, the setting of Tampa’s Ybor City will be swapped out for Key West’s own Cuban-American history. The production focuses on the labor force of one cigar rolling factory and, importantly, the curious role of a lector — someone tasked with reading to the factory workers who manned the stations for hours on end. Historically, novels and newspapers emerged as natural choices among the lectors. An enthralling novel could, for instance, captivate workers while stirring intellectual curiosity within factories like Old Town’s historic Gato building — named for cigar titan Eduard Gato.

In “Anna in the Tropics,” the arrival of a sultry lector who chooses to read Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” sparks internal crises and revelations among the workers who find themselves swept into episodes of desire and chaos.

Now, the cast and director share their thoughts and historical insights on what makes this production such an interesting watch during a robust theater season here in Key West.

Unrolling Key West History

“I’ve lived in the Keys since 1981. I have seen a lot of its history replaced with modernity. So much history that’s waiting for someone like Nilo Cruz to write a story about. The tobacco factories hit home. My family came here from Cuba and then Ybor City to gain employment as cigar rollers. Still remaining in Key West are these big buildings in the middle of residential neighborhoods. Many do not know the history and stories of those buildings: typical factories of mass production, large windows allowing for lots of light, and rows of tables and workers rolling large quantities of cigars a day. Unfortunately, they could not compete with the machination of the 1930s. Hopefully, the older Key West audiences can be reached to see this show. It will remind them of the history and, like me, bring a smile to their faces.”

Pro sports leagues that challenged the establishment

The XFL is the latest upstart league to challenge the NFL, MLB, NHL or NBA, but whether it finds success, it will not be the last. American sports history is littered with leagues that tried to find a niche as an alternative to an established league or put their own spin on a traditional sport. With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the most famous "other" leagues throughout sports history.

NASL - North American Soccer League

Bob Olsen / Contributor

There have been two iterations of the North American Soccer League: one that ran from 2011 to 2017 and the original, which started in 1968 and lasted until 1984. The first version rode the wave of surprisingly strong television ratings for the 1966 World Cup and had a fluctuating number of teams. It reached the apex of its popularity in the mid-1970s when the New York Cosmos, the league’s flagship franchise, signed Pele to their roster. The Cosmos had three separate seasons where attendance averaged over 40,000 per game, and some NASL games were broadcast on network television, but the league lost momentum and suspended operations in 1985.

WUSA - Women's United Soccer Association

Donald Miralle / Staff

In an attempt to capitalize on the excitement and interest generated by the United States Women’s National Team’s win at the 1998 World Cup, the Women’s United Soccer Association was born. The WUSA has the distinction of being the world’s first women’s soccer league where all of the players were paid as professionals. Notable founding players included Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain, Michelle Akers and Julie Foudy. The league’s first season was in 2001, with eight teams participating, but despite significant investment from a variety of communications companies, the league suffered major financial losses and folded in 2003 after just three seasons.

MISL - Major Indoor Soccer League

John Sunderland / Contributor

Soccer has only recently gained significant popularity in the U.S., and indoor soccer has always been a novelty, particularly in the 1970s, when the Major Indoor Soccer League was founded. The league began play in 1978 with six teams, but by the end of the MISL’s run in 1992, 24 franchises had played in the league. The faster pace and higher-scoring nature of indoor soccer games allowed the league to catch on in popularity, with attendance in its 14 seasons averaging over 7,500 fans per game. The league can also be credited with the creation of Arena Football, as Jim Foster, the founder of that league, credited MISL as his inspiration.

NWSL - National Women's Soccer League

Jose Argueta/ISI Photos / Contributor

So far, so good for the National Women’s Soccer League, the most prominent women’s professional league in the U.S. The NWSL came into being in November of 2012 and held its first season in 2013. It is comprised of nine teams and will add a 10th in 2021, in Louisville, Kentucky. The NWSL has an agreement with the United States Soccer Federation, so where other startup leagues have failed, it appears poised to succeed, possibly for a very long time, as soccer’s popularity continues to increase stateside.

There used to be 150 cigar factories in Tampa, which is the reason it got the “Cigar City" nickname.

J.C. Newman is the last one alive. The factory hand-rolls and machine-makes about 12 million cigars a year.

The factory is getting a major makeover, complete with a new museum and a company store.

Once it opens in May, visitors can enjoy different tours – including a free one – and see the same machines cigarmakers used for over a century.
