Hillsborough County’s School Board approved a plan to transform a stadium at Howard W. Blake High School into the home of a new professional women’s soccer team that will play in Tampa starting next year.
The board voted 6 to 1 to allow the yet-to-be named team to play its first few seasons at the school near downtown. In exchange, the team committed to major upgrades including expanding capacity from 1,800 to about 5,000.
