The Tampa Bay Rays of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) said it will take weeks to determine the extent of damage to Tropicana Field, their home stadium, whose roof was torn off due to Hurricane Milton.
“Fortunately, there were no casualties,” Tampa Bay said in a press release on the 11th (Korea Standard Time), “but we will have to look at the extent of the damage to the stadium for a few weeks.”
The club said, “During this period, you are not allowed to enter Tropicana Field,” and asked, “Please wait until the stadium is restored.”
Tropicana Field, located in St. Petersburg, Florida, was severely damaged by a hurricane that hit the southeastern United States on the 10th. 토토사이트
Most of the roof was torn off, and debris hit the ground.
It is difficult to even figure out the extent of damage to the space inside the stadium.
“At first, Florida authorities planned to use Tropicana Field as a hurricane evacuation facility, but this plan came to nothing,” Reuters said.
The damage to Tropicana Field does not immediately affect the MLB postseason schedule.
This is because Tampa Bay failed to advance to the postseason for the first time in six years since 2018.
Tampa Bay will not use Tropicana Field until it plays its home game on March 27 next year.
Tropicana Field is a baseball stadium where Choi Ji-man played and is familiar to domestic fans.
Choi Ji-man played Tropicana Field from 2018 to 2022 as a member of Tampa Bay.
