It sucks to see Tropicana like this despite all its issues. But the biggest takeaway for me is that I’m glad that no one inside has been hurt and I hope they and everyone else in Florida stays safe. Buildings can be rebuilt or replaced, people can’t. Nature is scary.
This fucking sucks.
You have time to fix that. Stay strong, Flappy Boiz.
We’re nothing compared to Mother Nature.
I’m emotional atm but if people could resist the urge to make Trop jokes this evening it would be appreciated. I grew up in that building and in that city and this is fucking terrible
Local ray in a terrible mood, flappy bits are FAR TOO FLAPPY

Holy shit
Jesus this is terrible. How dangerous is it for the people inside?
thank god we aren’t in the playoffs
Is it being used as a shelter?
That’s really bad, I saw it was being used as a shelter. Hopefully they can get to the covered parts.
AND the Tropicana in Vegas was demolished last night
Is the design tilted or storm causing it?
I genuinely thought sports arenas might be a safe spot for folks.
No injuries according to this [livestream](https://www.youtube.com/live/GFr7I1nxhZM?si=664SBqx8N9b3a9uN)
guys I dunno if rays baseball is coming back to the trop
That’s my stadium…
Everyone inside is safe.
Also, new Rays stadium when?
🫡
are the stingrays in the petting tank ok 🙁
Stay safe everyone. This storm is gnarly
In a weird twist of irony the Tropicana in Las Vegas was imploded today to make room for the A’s new ballpark.
So I guess the construction of the new stadium is going to have to happen way faster now, yikes. this is awful.
Flap Flap, Trop. 🫡
Stay safe Flappy Bros
Riding out the storm in Tampa and seeing this hurts. That’s my ballpark. Hope everyone is safe
Everyone in the south east stay safe.
Thank god I dont live in hurricane territory
How long would replacing the roof take? Too early to say?
The 2010 Metrodome incident put the stadium out of commission and they didn’t have a new roof installed [until the following summer.](https://www.mprnews.org/story/2011/06/14/metrodome-roof-replacement)
