HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- It looks like a suburban soccer stadium for the Tampa Bay Rowdies is a no-go for now.
Hillsborough County commissioners voted to let the Tampa Bay Rowdies withdraw their application to build a 5,000 seat stadium on Waters Avenue in the Town 'n Country area of Tampa.
Commissioners said they would work with them to find a new location.
The Rowdies, a minor-league revival of the phenomenally popular franchise of the 1970s and '80s, planned to begin playing in April 2010.
According to Bay News 9's partner newspaper the St. Petersburg Times, the new stadium would've included a team store, museum and luxury box seats.
Neighborhood residents have voiced concerns about the possible increase in traffic and noise.
