Cue all the complainers: "Why hasn't SDS updated the model to show hurricane damage?"

The Tampa Bay Rays stadium, the roof is gone completely ripped off from the hurricane
-
Roof blew off. St Pete got 16" inches of rain. Playing surface is below grade.
Port Charlotte and Ft Myers also got blasted, so there's probably damage to the spring training facilities for multiple teams.
Obviously wrecked baseball stadiums aren't the biggest problems for the people in Florida.

Here is an aerial shot

I played a guy in the trop today, roof was closed. Unrealistic. (It’s a joke relax)
-
Prayers for everyone affected by the hurricane. My girlfriend has family in Florida, but they're alright. I hope if any of y'all are in Florida, or have family there, I'm praying that they'll be ok and you can see them in person again soon.
-
I have family in Florida but their ok only lost power but since their on the same line as the hospital then they get it back faster. Hoping to go down in December to see them

Baseball in Montréal for 2025 while repairs are going on? I'm all for it!
-
I just read an article that said extensive, expensive repairs when they have a new stadium in 2028 doesn't make a ton of sense.
The most likely place to play for 3 years (!!!) is Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex in Kissimmee. The Rays used it for spring training in 2023.
They could try sharing with Miami and/or Atlanta, but bleh. And there are empty major league stadiums in Oakland and Arlington, but that's another set of logistics nightmares.
There are minor league parks in the area too - Yankees and Phillies clubs - but they dont have MLB amenities, might require rewriting scheduled, and might also be damaged.
So... It's not going to be boring.
