The Tampa Bay Rays are officially on track to have a home again in St. Petersburg. The bigger question remains how long they will stay.
The St. Petersburg city council voted 7-1 on Thursday to approve $22.5 million for a new Tropicana Field roof after Hurricane Milton shredded the last one, according to the Tampa Bay Times. The new roof will reportedly be made of the same teflon-coated fiberglass of the old roof.
That step covers roughly half of the estimated $55.7 million the stadium needs for its full repairs, with additional work required inside the stadium.
