The Tampa Bay Times has reviewed the report assessing the damage to Tropicana Field, and the prognosis is more positive than previously feared.
According to the report, Tropicana Field can be repaired in time for the 2026 season at a cost of approximately $55 million:
The report, which does not include all items to be repaired, estimates that Hurricane Milton caused $39 million in damage and an additional $16 million in costs.
The most costly item to replace will be the roof, which accounts for about $23.6 million of the bill.
