ST. PETERSBURG -- Tropicana Field has its signature look back.

The 24th and final roof panel was put in place atop The Trop on Thursday, restoring the tilted white roof in what the Rays called “a massive step forward for us, The City of St. Pete and Rays fans everywhere” as they prepare to return to the dome next season.

“Interior construction is full steam ahead!” the club said in a newsletter sent to fans on Friday morning. “Our team is working to get ready for Opening Day, and we can’t wait to see you back at Tropicana Field!”

St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch said in a statement on his Facebook page that the roof installation was completed ahead of schedule. Welch added that contractors will now focus on interior repairs, which are scheduled to be complete by April.
