The World Cup Final comes to Tampa this Sunday. Here's your week.

The World Cup ends Sunday and Tampa is throwing watch parties for the final. After a month of group chats arguing over every match, it comes down to one game at MetLife on Sunday afternoon, and the Rowdies are opening Al Lang for free to watch it on the big screens. That is the anchor of a stacked week. The Asian Summer Food and Music Festival takes over the Tampa Riverwalk for three days with more than 100 vendors. SharkCon returns to the Fairgrounds. Megan Moroney brings her Cloud 9 Tour to the arena Friday. And Lumbre, the new Spanish restaurant from the team behind Michelin starred Rocca, just opened its doors in NoHo. Full breakdown below.

🏟️ **The Rays dropped the first interior renderings of their proposed new stadium last week and it is starting to look like a real building**. Translucent roof, club and group spaces, and an updated cownose ray tank, with the team targeting a 2029 opening on the Dale Mabry site. Public financing is still being negotiated, but this is the closest the franchise has come to showing what the future actually looks like.

🌮 **Rreal Tacos is turning the old Red Mesa Cantina building in downtown St. Pete into a three story taco complex**. The 16,000 square foot space at 128 3rd St S will hold three concepts, five bars, and seating for over 800. St. Pete dining keeps going vertical and this is the most ambitious food project announced in the Bay this year.

🍽️ **Baba closed in St. Pete's Grand Central District and a new concept called Kaixo is taking the space**. It comes from chef Andrew Duncan and sommelier Danielle McCoy and is built around the food and wine of the Iberian Peninsula, with the Barra Barra pintxo bar becoming a full time fixture next door. A real loss and a real gain on the same block.
