Description
10 Tampa Bay has received several documents showing St. Petersburg’s sense of urgency when it comes to removing what's left of Tropicana Field’s shredded roof, but less enthusiasm when it comes to some early discussion about whether it's possible to make repairs in time for the 2025 baseball season.
Our public records request yielded contracts, costs and a detailed timeline in at least one proposal that contends the dome roof could be replaced in time for the 2025 season.
Step one is removing the remnants of the tattered roof. For that, documents show the city entered into a $416,353 contract for a three-week project.
The contract, with a company called Global Rope Access, calls for a crew of seven on the job and a hefty insurance policy given the precarious situation they're tackling.
Other documents show the roof construction firm the city is working with, Dunn Lightweight, had originally proposed an ambitious timeline that would also install a replacement roof by mid-March.
