The roof of Tropicana Field was damaged by Hurricane Milton

The damaging winds damaged the roof of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, home of the MLB's Tampa Bay Rays. Officials had converted the ballpark into a base camp for emergency responders and set up rows of green cots.

Earlier this week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the stadium would serve as a base camp for 10,000 people for debris removal operations and first responders. Footage from local television channels and photos shared on social media showed part of the stadium's roof being torn off in high winds.

St. Petersburg Fire Rescue told ABC News that authorities were in contact with people at the stadium and confirmed they were safe. WFTS-TV reported that there were no injuries.
