Major League Baseball is actively seeking a temporary location for the Tampa Bay Rays in the Tampa Bay area due to severe hurricane damage at Tropicana Field. Commissioner Rob Manfred expressed optimism about finding a solution, stating, "The easiest thing is always to stay in the market where the clubs are anchored, if we can manage it." This highlights the league's desire to keep teams connected to their local fanbase and maintain community ties, particularly in light of such devastating circumstances.
The city of St Petersburg is taking proactive steps to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton's impact on Tropicana Field. As St Petersburg spokeswoman Alizza Punzalan-Randle remarked, "We will have more information on next steps once the analyses have been completed and the remaining roof has been removed." This demonstrates the city’s commitment to addressing the damage thoroughly while engaging with its insurance processes. The aim is to ensure that the area can continue to host major league baseball despite the challenges.
