The Tampa Bay Rays will play their 2025 home games at Steinbrenner Field, the New York Yankees' spring training park, due to damage at Tropicana Field from Hurricane Milton. The domed stadium needs $55.7 million in repairs to be ready for 2026. Steinbrenner Field, with about 11,000 seats, is the largest spring training site in Florida. The Yankees will receive approximately $15 million in revenue for hosting the Rays, funded by insurance and other sources. The Rays averaged 16,500 fans per game in 2024. They will need to adapt to outdoor play in Florida's summer climate, a change from their previous indoor venue.
