A detailed assessment of the hurricane damage to Tropicana Field concludes that the home of the Rays is structurally sound and can be repaired in time for the 2026 season, but not by 2025 Opening Day.
A detailed assessment of the hurricane damage to Tropicana Field concludes that the home of the Tampa Bay Rays is structurally sound and can be repaired for about $55.7 million in time for the 2026 season. The 412-page report released Tuesday by the City of St. Petersburg, which owns the building, found that the basic structure of the domed stadium 'does not appear to have been adversely affected' by Hurricane Milton's winds, which shredded most of its fabric roof.
'We have so much need across the city,' said council member Brandi Gabbard at a meeting last week. 'I love the Rays. I love Tropicana Field. It’s not about not wanting to do this. It’s about a balance of priorities.' The council recently approved $6.5 million to clean up the ballpark and protect it from any further damage, including waterproofing areas such as the press box, seating areas and scoreboard.
