The roof panels over the home of baseball's Tampa Bay Rays were ripped to shreds after Hurricane Milton brought wind gusts exceeding 100 mph and flooding.
Television images showed the swaths that serve as the domed building's roof were completely tattered, giving a clear line of sight to the lights that were on inside.
Tropicana Field features the world's largest cable-supported domed roof, designed to withstand winds up to 115 mph, indicating remarkable engineering.
The stadium opened in 1990 and is slated to be replaced with a new ballpark in time for the 2028 season, reflecting ongoing investment in the area.
