He definitely is not a fan favorite down here. This article is only going to make it worse. My Rays friends asked about him when they traded for him. Same thing you heard, they are hearing now, he's a diva in the clubhouse and with fans. Love his production so they havent turned on him yet.
They really have no fan base. I live 5 minutes from the stadium. They have $10 seats with $5 parking and I've went once, to see the Cardinals.
The area around the stadium is blowing up. Big 20-30 story condo/retail complexes going up all around but..... it has absolutely nothing to do with the stadium or the Rays. Most people want the Rays gone or the stadium moved. Put a convention center or something in its place to ramp up the area even more.
They just has a billion $ downtown Tampa deal fall through. No one wants to put up $500 million for a stadium for a team that its voters are meh about. The Rays are eventually leaving. Nothing can turn it around for them.
