The future gets murkier for hurricane-damaged Tropicana Field
The Tampa Bay Times is reporting on a stalled effort to repair damages caused during Hurricane Milton to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. The 35-year-old stadium was initially set for a much-needed influx of $24 million worth of funding. Instead, with a last-minute reversal and given the separate uncertainty now surrounding the fate of its $1.3 billionnew home, the future of the Rays franchise in the city has been cast in doubt.Some 18 of the 24 fiberglass roof panels were lost during the storm after the 370,000 square feet of PTFEroof system failed in the face of 125+ mph winds. The cost of repairs had been previously reported at $55.7 million. This fall's hurricanes also led to a decline in construction spending for October.
