After approving $23 million to help repair the Tampa Bay Rays' hurricane-shredded roof at Tropicana Field late last week, the St. Petersburg City Council reversed its decision several hours later.

The Tampa Bay Rays won't play at their home ballpark, Tropicana Field, for a long while due to the excessive damage brought by Hurricane Milton. Repairs to the roof and other key parts of the stadium won't be finished until 2026 and will cost as much as $55.7 million.

Two hours after voting to spend about $24 million to start repairing hurricane-damaged Tropicana Field by replacing the ballpark’s roof, the St. Petersburg City Council on Thursday voted a second time and decided to halt that plan.

We’re getting our first look at damage inside Tropicana Field thanks to new photos released by the Tampa Bay Rays, even as the team's future location remains up in the air.

The Tampa Bay Rays are having all sorts of trouble getting the local government to help them build their new ballpark, and they are also having trouble getting their current one fixed.
