The roof can be closed in 10 minutes.

Maybe for if the roof breaks.

FWIW, looking at pictures of Tropicana, it doesn't seem like there's a tarp there.

Yeah, I'd imagine with a dome, where you have no chance of the field getting wet, you would not be required to have a tarp. There was never a tarp at the dome.

Happened when I was at a game there actually. It started sprinkling and they closed the roof. It's quite the spectacle to see that thing close in person. Quite an impressive piece of engineering.

And man, the Royals are bad. I remember thinking they had something going when they swept the Twins earlier in the year and held the Twins off the scoreboard for the most part. Nope. They're lost.
