As far as I know that's possible but I highly doubt the team would want it. The design of Tropicana Field is from the 1970's. Construction began in the 1980's and by the grand opening -- the design was obsolete. I think there would be too many complications -- structurally and scheduling wise -- to try to convert the stadium in any way, shape or form to open air/retractable roof. Plus the costs of such a conversion my be on par with the price of a new stadium...
