St. Pete commits $6.5 million to storm-damaged Trop

St. Petersburg’s City Council reluctantly approved two contracts totaling up to $6.5 million to keep Tropicana Field from further deteriorating after Hurricane Milton shredded the baseball stadium’s roof.

The city is responsible for repairing the Trop, and officials must take reasonable steps to prevent further damage or risk violating insurance terms. Council members voted 6-2 Thursday evening to begin waterproofing the once-domed stadium and remediate water damage.
