The hurricane damage to Tropicana Field has forced us to take some extraordinary steps. We are happy to extend our hand to the Rays and their fans by providing a major-league quality facility for them to utilize this season.'' Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said in a statement.
We deeply appreciate that the Yankees have graciously allowed us to play at Steinbrenner Field for the 2025 season,'' Rays owner Stu Sternberg said in the statement.
The Rays also talked extensively to the Philadelphia Phillies about using the Phillies' spring training complex in nearby Clearwater, which offered advantages because it's also located in Pinellas County.
One is that Steinbrenner Field seats upward of 2,000 more fans, which could translate into significantly more revenue over 81 games.
