I think it was supposed to be a place of refuge for the first responders: food, water, place to lie down. Ouch!

Well I guess they can hang in the clubhouses and on the concourses but bad idea....

I believe that is the first recorded case of a hurricane increasing property values.....

Well, after the waterfront property on First Avenue in Boca del Beppo washed away in Hurricane Gil (I may have these names wrong), the people who owned property on SECOND Avenue were pretty happy! ;)

Too bad it didn't happen during the season. I would have loved to see games played in a "Domed" stadium played with-out it's cap.

Too bad they didn't have the vision to build a roof out of concrete.

Why wouldn't they play there? What was their roof made of? It looks like some sort of plastic reinforced tarp of some kind.

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
