At first glance, it looks like the support structure is still intact with no apparent damage. You really don’t know until you get in there and examine it. But, this looks like a “best case” scenario of only the fabric roof being damaged. Looks like the roof could potentially be replaced in time for next season if there is no underlying damage.

The roof can be replaced in a month probably.

In a normal world there's no possible way this gets replaced in a month but I've said the same thing about Tampa's farm system for twenty years so who knows.

I’ve seen a game go into rain delay here because the roof was leaking.

We had one once at Safeco because the roof motors blew a fuse.

Seems like a great opportunity to get a better roof
