For as many jokes as I can make about the Trop and how Milton is taking it out, there’s also a lot of lineman out there who are taking shelter there and that’s really fucking scary
If anyone makes a joke about the team relocating or wanting this to happen, just to let you it is in bad taste. There were recovery assets that were pre-stage there and people were staying there.

I’m terrified to see the remnants when I’m back in town in the next day or two. Good Lord.

I read that the linemen that were slated to do emergency work in Tampa were supposed to be staying at the stadium? If so I really hope plans changed before this could happen.

This storm is scary. Experiencing it right now and it sucks. But this will definitely be the cover photo in the worldwide news headlines.

Crazy that the Royal Rumble took place there earlier this year. Also was one of the temporary homes WWE used for the shutdown.

People will know about this place being a dump but this is legitimately scary considering the stadium was being used as a staging area..

With the implosion of Tropicana casino yesterday and tonight’s Tropicana roof ripping apart, it’s a bad day to be named after Tropicana.

I had no idea until right now it wasn’t a solid material roof. That’s insane

300+ National Guardsmen and utility linemen are staged there
Finally no more completely domed stadiums in baseball, thanks climate change.
Only place where this is probably an improvement
Prayers for everyone affected
Oy
Sounds like Mother Nature is implying something here?
(Woof…scary shit for real though…I can only pray that people can come out unscathed and unharmed when it’s all said and done…)
Felt like this would happen lol
Holy crap
I had a feeling this would happen, but still wild to see. There’s a slightly newer video that makes me think the whole roof is coming off soon
Currently watching the [live stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFr7I1nxhZM) and it’s showing the roof blowing right now.
Flappy boi roof.
