Tampa’s yet to be named women’s professional soccer team will begin its run by playing home games for several years at Howard W. Blake High School if Hillsborough County’s School Board agrees to a proposed agreement later this month.

The agreement, set to go before the board Oct. 17, calls for the new team to fully upgrade the existing stadium at the school and use the site to play its home games beginning next year.

According to Christina Unkel, president of USL Super League Tampa Bay and the memorandum of understanding needing to be approved, the team will assume all costs for the upgrades. It will also leave them in place when it moves to a permanent home at some point.
