It was fabric, it was actually way past was originally considered it's useful life,. There's going to be a lot more damage than just the roof. I'm going to guess it's the end of Tropicana
What, Audio, visual in-house stuff? I just don't see any sort of damage which would indicate not being able to play there in a few weeks let alone a few months.

Tropicana was set to be demolished in 2027. I doubt they try to repair it

Too bad they didn't have the vision to build a roof out of concrete.
The must have been fans of the first two Little Pigs instead of the 3rd.

Kind of ironic that Seattle was the location of one of the most hurricane-proof stadiums ever built.

Kingdome had some roof issues as well. Ironic that Tampa Bay was where the M's were going to move to....

They should have moved the Kingdome to Tampa Bay instead, and built Tropicana Field in Seattle rather than that hitter's graveyard of a ballpark.
