In 1986, Tropicana Field was commissioned without a prospective tenant or any interest from a major league baseball team, and failed to attract a baseball tenant until eight years after its completion in 1990. As an emerging architect, Sarah-Jane L. Vatelot found herself asking, “What was the rush to build a taxpayer-subsidized $138,000,000 baseball stadium in this location?” What she came to understand is that the real story is not about baseball, it’s about people. In the Fall of 2018, she embarked upon an eight-month-long study of the site for my master’s thesis at the USF School of Architecture and Community Design, identifying the issues posed by the site’s historical context to propose policy suggestions and design solutions to mend the tear in the physical and social fabric of St. Petersburg left by the 86-acre site.

Did you know you need to re-register for a mail-in ballot?
Florida law now requires a re-do for your
mail-in ballot requests each cycle.
Previous instructions have been canceled.
So, a few things to remember:
Governor DeSantis and the Florida Legislature have increasingly tightened our election laws.
Requesting a a mail-in ballot simply gives you the option to vote by mail. You can still vote in person until and including election day by dropping off your ballot. There is no downside in requesting one.
Requesting a vote by mail ballot gives you multiple options to ensure your voice is heard at the polls.
Check your mail-in ballot status and request a ballot mailed to you by going to votepinellas.com or call (717) 464 8683.
