Here’s where Tampa Bay Sun FC plays its games and practices

Tampa Bay Sun FC practices at a team facility on the corner of Nebraska and Seventh Avenues in Ybor City.

Tampa Bay Sun FC’s current schedule includes 14 regular season games, with seven home matches set for Riverfront Stadium at Blake High School, located at 1701 N Blvd. in Tampa.

USL Super League teams are required to play in stadiums with a capacity of at least 5,000 fans.
Last fall, ownership said it planned to spend at least $4 million upgrading the football stadium at Blake High School, bringing capacity up from 1,800 to about 5,000. Upgraded locker rooms, FIFA-approved turf, concessions, and activity zones are also part of the improvements.

After some scrutiny last October, Hillsborough’s school board voted 6-1 to approve the agreement between the school district and Florida Community Events, LLC, clearing the way for construction at the Sun’s temporary home, where renovations are now estimated at $6 million.

Stadium upgrades will stay with Blake High School and fall on the school district to maintain after the team—which it expects to play in the stadium for three-to-five years—finds a permanent home elsewhere.
