Tropicana Field Roof Shredded By Milton's Winds

Milton's destructive force left a lasting mark on Tropicana Field, the Tampa Bay Rays' home ballpark.

A Category 3 hurricane battered Florida's Gulf Coast and the Tampa Bay area late Wednesday evening. The storm's destructive force ripped off large sections of the Trop's iconic domed roof, exposing the interior. Potential water damage also poses a significant concern.

Drone footage from the FOX Flight Team reveals the continued extent of damage to the stadium inflicted by Milton's powerful 100-plus-mph winds.

Odd you have in Las Vegas the Tropicana casino implosion on Wednesday and the Tropicana Field was damaged on the same day.

This so called stadium has been laughed at for decades. It is a tent. Good for a circus.

[bobbicatt]

Wait, Wasn't that a place for people to go to during the storm ?

[Crusader]

it looks better than what it did thats an improvement

[pamelairvin]

Be glad the roof was fabric and not metal!

And this is the "BEFORE" video.

It was the worst of all the stadium roofs in all of baseball. Many bad calls. Rays deserve a great stadium. Vaya con Dios

It's ok, the Rays aren't using it this postseason.

This is so Heartbreaking Unbelievable, Unprecedented just breathtaking 😢

The roof was dated to be redone in 2026.

[seanhoward]

Baseball played outside, as God intended.

It needed a New One, Work Smart Then Rest..

[LuciaChaurand]

The wind has blown out of the roof in St. Petersburg Florida 🇺🇸 because of the hurricane Milton 🌀. 😢

That’s a pretty stupid design anyway anybody that approves that is not an architect

Looks like a Roman colosseum. We have adopted many of Romes ways. The Most High is tired of our disobedience and homage to Greek gods like Jesus who was Iesus in the 1611 KJV meaning hail Zeus and Carries the numerical value of 666 in the Greek. Names can not be translated.
