Steinbrenner Field is also home to the Yankees’ Single-A affiliate, the Tampa Tarpons.

“We are happy to extend our hand to the Rays and their fans by providing a Major League-quality facility for them to utilize this season,” Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said in a statement, per MLB.com. “Both the Yankees organization and my family have deep roots in the Tampa Bay region, and we understand how meaningful it is for Rays players, employees and fans to have their 2025 home games take place within 30 minutes of Tropicana Field. In times like these, rivalry and competition take a back seat to doing what’s right for our community — which is continuing to help families and businesses rebound from the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.’’
