The Tampa Bay Rays are playing their 2025 home games at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. This is the spring training stadium of the New York Yankees, which has been transformed to accommodate the Rays for the season due to heavy damage to their usual home, Tropicana Field, caused by Hurricane Milton. The Tropicana Field roof damage means it won't be fixed until the start of the 2026 season, so the Rays will use Steinbrenner Field as a temporary home for 2025
. Steinbrenner Field has a seating capacity of 11,026 and is equipped with major-league-standard facilities. The Yankees have agreed to let the Rays use the stadium, receiving roughly $15 million for the arrangement. The Rays chose Steinbrenner Field over other options, such as BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater
. The Rays' schedule at Steinbrenner Field has been adjusted to avoid summer rain, with most home games concentrated in the first two months of the season. They will play 47 of their first 59 games at home, then 69 of the last 103 games on the road. Some series originally scheduled elsewhere have been moved to Steinbrenner Field to accommodate this plan
