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.
