Tropicana Field is hosting the Tampa Bay Rays’ World Series games against the Milwaukee Brewers, marking its first World Series since 2008. The stadium reopened for the 2026 season nearly two years after Hurricane Milton tore off its roof; St. Petersburg spent about $58 million on repairs, below its approved $59.7 million budget, with more than half the cost covered by FEMA, insurance and state grants. City officials and the team have described the comeback as a symbol of the Tampa Bay community’s resilience after the storms. The ballpark is known for its indoor setting, overhead catwalks that can affect rulings and a touch tank with live stingrays. Ahead of Game 3, Rays legends including former manager Joe Maddon gathered at the stadium as Tampa Bay faced elimination.

The Milwaukee Brewers advanced to the 2026 World Series after eliminating the Padres and sweeping the Dodgers, while San Diego’s missed chances and concerns about its starting-pitching depth stood out in its NLDS loss. As Milwaukee prepares for the championship series, coverage emphasizes sticking with the strategies that worked; the Giants’ roster problems and a retrospective on the 1982 World Series are unrelated.
