While I always root for the Astros, I'd also like a perfect storm where the Rays make the World Series and host a few games inside their new 11,000 seat stadium.
MLB would all of a sudden magically announce the Trop has been fixed just in time if that happens
I'm sure the inside got damaged, but couldn't they just fix the field and play games with no roof ?
The longer the insides are exposed to the elements, the more screwed up it will get. Nothing in there was meant to be outside. I can't see any way the city justifies spending the money to fix it or even get it in playable shape. Supposedly they had a lot of turnover in local government and the deal for the new stadium may be on the rocks, so they're probably about to have another Oakland situation.
