I’ve often thought about how great it would be to destroy Tropicana Field, but when it actually happens, it is scary. The stadium was being used as a staging area for linemen and other first responders.
I can’t imagine how much it will cost to rebuild the place. But the destruction of homes and businesses will be the worst part.
Right now the thought of an Alberta winter seems pretty good to me. I hope everyone in Florida is safe.
