The Miami Marlins plan to leave their retractable roof partially open during Hurricane Irma, the strongest storm to hit the region since the new ballpark opened in 2012.

The roof will be open in a number of spots.

"It allows the air and the pressure to come inside the ballpark and eventually leave the ballpark," a team official said. "It avoids putting a lot of uplift on the roof. It was designed that way so we wouldn't get any major damage to our roof."
