Most of the fabric covering the domed roof has been torn off.
Tropicana Field had been scheduled to be used by first responders from outside of the area who traveled to Florida to assist in the recovery efforts.
The facility was set up to host 10,000 people with cots set up on the playing surface.
The roof is made from Ethylene TFE, a polymer that is stronger than glass but significantly lighter.
