Welcome to Ballpark Frankness, tampabay.com's newest blog. If you couldn't figure it out, we'll be here talking about the Tampa Bay Rays' $450-million proposal to build a waterfront ballpark in downtown St. Petersburg.
The plan for this blog is simple. We're hoping to have three or so posts a day, some fun, some serious. We'll launch a poll every once in awhile, keep track of the temperature and humidity outside and spend days trying to find a place to park. We'll solicit your input along with the thoughts of the Rays and POWW and whoever else may have something to say.
This blog also will be the one place where we post the news of the day related to the stadium debate. And sometimes, we'll give you a peek of what we're working on for tomorrow's paper edition (No secret negotiations here)!
And we'll be here until November, or at least until we stop talking about a new stadium.
The only ground rule: let's try to keep things civil. Don't attack the people, attack the ideas.
So with that out of the way, let's play ball!
The Tampa Bay Rays continue to pursue plans for a new baseball stadium. Host
