dailyloe.com – A small sinkhole has formed in the Tropicana Field parking lot in St. Petersburg, Florida. The depression prompted officials to block off a section of the lot. This occurred just before the stadium’s scheduled reopening on Monday.
City spokesperson Beth Herendeen attributed the issue to a broken water pipe. The pipe failure washed away supporting soil beneath the pavement. Crews have already repaired the broken water line itself.
However, full repairs to the parking lot surface are delayed. City crews plan to wait until next week to complete the work. They are scheduling around the Tampa Bay Rays’ upcoming home baseball games.
The stadium is set to host the team’s home opener on Monday. The incident is considered a developing story by local news. Officials advise monitoring Spectrum Bay News 9 for further updates.[]
