It will cost around $55.7M for Tropicana Field to be repaired “in time for the Rays’ 2026 season,” according to a damage assessment report sent to the St. Petersburg City Council. The report stated that Hurricane Milton caused around $39M in damage and an additional $16M in costs. Repairs to the roof account for around $23.6M of the damage. The “big question is whether the city will want to spend that much for two seasons of use” since the Rays are scheduled to open a new ballpark in time for the 2028 campaign (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 11/12).
