If only we could place those responsible for major climate change in Tropicana Field right now and hold them somehow accountable. If only that.

The roof of Tropicana Field is made of a translucent, Teflon-coated fiberglass fabric called PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). The roof is the world’s second largest cable-supported domed roof, with 6 acres of fabric and 180 miles of cables.
The roof’s design includes a slant that goes from 225 feet above second base to 85 feet above the center field wall. This slant reduces the interior volume of the stadium, which helps to reduce cooling costs and protect against hurricane damage. The roof is also designed to withstand winds of up to 115 mph.

Were there people inside already while this happened? Or was it for future purposes for post-hurricane?

On the bright side, it’s doing much better than Tropicana Las Vegas.Â

This idea to house first responders was doomed from the get go. Dumb fucks didn’t learn anything from Hurricane Katrina.
