The lasting effects of Hurricane Milton are being felt throughout the Tampa-area.
After the storm made landfall Oct. 9, many structures throughout the region were impacted and flooding was prominent throughout its cities and towns. Among the impacted structures are stadiums of that area’s sports teams, specifically MLB’s Tampa Bay Rays and the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Late Wednesday night, videos were shared on Twitter/X documenting the flooding of the field at Raymond James Stadium.
In anticipation of the storm, the Buccaneers evacuated Central Florida on Tuesday, traveling to New Orleans for their Week 6 meeting with the Saints. The Bucs are currently slated to return home to host the Ravens on Monday, Oct. 21 at Raymond James Stadium.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported an update on the situation, reporting that early surveys suggest that damage to the Bucs’ stadium and’ practice facilities is purely cosmetic. Based on that reporting, Raymond James Stadium remains structurally intact.
