Raysing the stadium issue

I'm not calling this piece great journalism, because it certainly isn't that, but it does bring up a good question: can the Rays postseason run help their chances at a new stadium.

A new stadium proposal fell through earlier this year, but that doesn't mean a new one can't surface.
Baseball leaders say Tropicana Field in the long run just won't produce enough revenue to keep the team competitive.

The Rays temporarily suspended their public push for a downtown St. Petersburg waterfront stadium earlier this year.

Still, a group of community and civic leaders have continued meeting twice a month to discuss the issue. The group hopes to have a new stadium plan within the next two years.
