Sports stadiums are facing risks from changing weather patterns.
NFL stadiums could experience $11 billion in climate-related losses by 2050, according to a new report released by the climate risk analysis company, Climate X.
The risk was underscored by Hurricane Milton ripping the roof off Tropicana Field in Tampa, Florida.
Hurricane Milton’s damage to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, was so devastating it likely means the Tampa Bay Rays will be looking for another place to play ball for opening day next spring.
Like many baseball stadiums around the country, Tropicana Field’s geographic location makes it vulnerable to hurricane winds or tornado-force winds, hail, storm surge and flooding.
