Strong winds from Hurricane Milton caused extensive damage to the roof of Tropicana Field, home of the MLB's Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Video captured by a local TV station late Wednesday shows the fabric of the domed roof was ripped off, making the interior structure visible from a nearby highway.
According to the Tampa Bay Rays media guide, "Tropicana Field features the world’s largest cable-supported domed roof. It is made of six acres of translucent, Teflon-coated fibreglass and supports itself with 180 miles of cables connected by struts."
The roof was built to sustain winds of up to 185 km/h.
The stadium opened in 1990, and was due to be replaced in time for the 2028 MLB season.
