And really, what insurer is going to insure that stadium going forward in the face of worsening storms from climate change?
It's a big deal and going to be a tough decision for the Rays' ownership and governments on what to do.

The roof in BC was completely redesigned, implying it was simply replaced in kind is wrong. If you are just replacing the fabric and none of the structure I'd be surprised if it was more than $40MM USD
