It will take time to gauge the cost of repairing Tropicana Field’s torn-apart roof. The Tampa Bay Rays’ stadium dome was ripped to shreds during Hurricane Milton. Both the “inner and outer” roof were damaged and blew south of the stadium, according to St. Petersburg development administrator James Corbett. The roof is made of translucent, Teflon-coated fiberglass and supported by cables.
“Our priority is supporting our community and our staff,” the Rays said in a statement on Thursday afternoon. “We are fortunate and grateful no one was hurt by the damage to our ballpark last night. Over the coming days and weeks, we expect to be able to assess the true condition of Tropicana Field. In the meantime, we are working with law enforcement to secure the building.”
