Hurricane Milton caused severe damage to Tropicana Field's roof, tearing it to shreds and exposing the interior to the elements, raising concerns about potential internal damage.
Despite the significant damage to the roof, all essential personnel were accounted for inside Tropicana Field, as the stadium was not serving as a shelter.
The Tropicana Field roof, made with translucent, Teflon-coated fiberglass, was designed to withstand winds up to 115 mph, yet the storm led to total destruction.
An NBA preseason game was canceled in anticipation of the storm's impact, highlighting the extensive disruption caused by Hurricane Milton across Florida.
