Blue netting now surrounds the steel framework of what’s left of Tropicana Field’s roof in downtown St. Petersburg as crews begin to install the first set of roof panels.

Last October, winds of up to 110 miles per hour from Hurricane Milton shredded the stadium’s fabric roof, causing extensive interior damage.

Now, the City of St. Pete is on the hook for the repairs.

General contractors Hennessy Construction Services and AECOM Hunt are leading the $59 million repair project, with the new roof accounting for more than $23 million of that total.

“Repair progress is well underway at Tropicana Field,” Mayor Ken Welch wrote in a Facebook post Friday, sharing photos of the work.

Some residents have questioned why the city is spending so much money repairing a stadium that may only be in use for a few more years.

The answer lies in a 1995 use agreement, which legally requires the city to maintain Tropicana Field and provide parking for the Rays through the 2028 season. That agreement was recently extended by one year after the Rays temporarily relocated to Tampa while repairs are completed.

The new roof will be constructed of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), a translucent material that is thicker than the original roof and engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds up to 165 miles per hour. Most of the material is being manufactured in Germany and assembled in China.
