To facilitate construction, the team is pitching a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) arrangement for the $2.3 billion project. Coverage from MLB.com, the Tampa Bay Times, and Bleacher Report focuses on the visual unveiling of the facility.
Meanwhile, The Business Journals and Construction Dive highlight the financial and contractual framework, noting that Florida has provided $50 million for the project after North Carolina's budget excluded MLB stadium funding.
