which was turned into shelter for first responders Hurricane Milton ripped the roof off Tropicana Field which was transformed into a camp for thousands of first responders as the Category 3 storm ripped through Florida Wednesday night.
The destruction of the Tampa Bay Rays ballpark in St. Petersburg could be seen from the outside and all that remained were the stadium’s lights cables, bars and catwalks with roof fabric dangling from above.
The storm had initially torn open a significant hole above the third base dugout before every other section around the domed roof fell apart, leaving roofing material covering various portions of the infield and stadium seating, according to social media video from inside the stadium.
