NFL stadiums could experience $11 billion in climate-related losses by 2050, a new report finds

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.

The Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays are MLB, not NFL, science nerds.

Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars most affected. They were going to lose anyway, so ...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sorry, but what they charge for tickets...I don't think they'll suffer too much.

Scientists, like all discoverers of truth, have always asked, "What?” “How?” “Why?” “What if?” and “Why not?” Questioning science is science.
