Fans react to Tampa Bay Rays' new stadium plans in St. Pete

The Tampa Bay Rays are home and are not going anywhere. That was the message team owner Stu Sternberg delivered Tuesday in a news conference announcing a new stadium deal with the city of St. Petersburg. "Major League Baseball is here to stay, right here," Sternberg said to applause Tuesday. News of a stadium deal first broke Monday, but the team remained tight-lipped until the Rays confirmed everything at the news conference. Sternberg mentioned the long-sought-after stadium deal hasn't been easy.
