St. Petersburg To Spend $22.5M To Fix Tropicana Field 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Apr 3, 2025 6:21 pm

The once and possibly future home of the Tampa Bay Rays will get a new roof to replace the one shredded by Hurricane Milton with the goal of having the ballpark ready for the 2026 season, city officials decided in a vote Thursday.

The St. Petersburg City Council voted 7-1 to approve $22.5 million to begin the repairs at Tropicana Field, which will start with a membrane roof that must be in place before other work can continue. Although the Rays pulled out of a planned $1.3 billion new stadium deal, the city is still contractually obligated to fix the Trop.

Just take that money and set it on fire. The Trop is absolutely antiquated. Now that the Oakland Coliseum is gone, Tropicana Field will take it's place as the worst park.
