ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A City of St. Petersburg spokesperson told ABC Action News that fencing "was installed to assist with construction repairs to Tropicana Field."
According to the spokesperson, St. Pete "conducted ground penetrating radar around the Trop to check for voids under the concrete sidewalk" on July 1. This process will assist with roof installation when it’s ready.
In May, officials were considering putting more money into repairing the Trop after the damage done by Hurricane Milton.

- Roof repair mobilization – June 2025
- Roof installation begins – August 2025
- Roof installation complete – December 2025
- Turf Installation and major interior work begin – December 2025
