The City of St. Petersburg's marketing department, in Florida has divulged plans to enhance the city's visibility through a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium deal. The concepts were talked about in a City Council meeting on Thursday morning, as requested by Councilwoman Gina Driscoll. The mayor’s office is pushing for additional city signage and particular promotions during Rays events. They are also advocating that players dress in St. Petersburg uniforms for at least one home game. These requests are part of the desired provisions in the agreement through the development of the novel baseball stadium. In a council meeting in December, Driscoll suggested renaming the team to the 'St. Petersburg Rays', yet the proposal did not take root. She then urged the team to assist in elevating the city's visibility. The marketing department highlighted that discussions between the city's administration and the Tampa Bay Rays led to various ideas on how to achieve this.
