Tropicana Field Severely Damaged by Hurricane Milton
The Fury of Hurricane Milton
Hurricane Milton's powerful winds overnight Wednesday resulted in catastrophic damage to the roof of Tropicana Field, the iconic home of baseball's Tampa Bay Rays. Overhead television and still images captured the extensive destruction as the dome in St. Petersburg lost significant sections of its paneling to winds exceeding 100 mph.
Visual Evidence of Destruction
Footage revealed glimpses of the stadium's field and stands, visible through the areas where panels once securely covered them. As concerns for interior damage loom, officials are still assessing the extent of the impact.

Additionally, the high winds also caused a construction crane to topple at 400 Central Ave., approximately three-quarters of a mile from Tropicana Field. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported in that vicinity. As the situation unfolds, follow along for live coverage and updates regarding the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
