Tampa's women pro soccer team looks to Ybor City for new stadium

The owners of Tampa Bay Sun FC, the women’s professional soccer team, are considering building a new 15,000-seat stadium on the waterfront near Ybor City.

The team, which just completed its inaugural season winning its league’s championship, says for now its vision for the stadium is just that, a vision, and that there is no anticipated start date for construction or cost “as it’s too early in the process.”

Despite that, the Sun announced its intentions to build the new stadium Tuesday on land currently under contract to its majority owner, local developer Darryl Shaw.
