    Tropicana stadium owners and the Florida Governor was sold a “Pig in a Poke” when the roof salesman said the fiberglass roof could withstand a hurricane force wind.

    Whose dumb idea was to build a roof of pool plastic and use it as a shelter in hurricane weather?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

    The roof designers probably cut some corners if it was rated for higher wind speeds than what it actually was able to handle.

      You're right; I don't see any corners on that roof at all. 🤔🤔🤔

    Looks just like the Louisiana Superdome after Katrina. You'd think we’d learn to not use this type of building for anything during a hurricane.

      @@patrickwong4824 fair. Not til 2028 though, might not have the funding atm, and I’m guessing finding enough contractors when everywhere else is getting repaired will be an issue. So I feel their original comment is downplaying something that will cause the team a massive headache.
      Edit: and I did watch the whole video before my initial question. It was a perfectly valid question. I didn’t remember every word said funnily enough.

    Lol who puts first responders under a paper wrapped ceiling in a cat 3? (I know it’s not paper) They have halls all the way around and under the ring structure of the stadium and they put the cots in the middle of the field. 🤯
    It’s like putting folks in the middle of steel racks that reach the ceiling in a warehouse during a tornado. Common sense isn’t so…lol
