The sports club recently announced executive Michael McNaughton as President of the Sporting JAX Development Company to lead all real estate, master-planning, and development tied to the club’s long-term vision.
Sporting JAX has also been eyeing potential locations to house a new stadium facility in Jacksonville.
The “pack the park” opener is March 7 at Hodges Stadium at UNF. It’s the same stadium where the women’s professional team plays its home games.
The women’s team currently sits at the top of the league and is led by teen sensation, Ashlyn Puerta, the leading scorer, Meg Hughes, Paige Kenton, who has six assists each, and goalkeeper Kaitlyn Parks, who leads the league in shutouts.
The team is the first fully professional women’s team in Jacksonville’s history and joined the league last August. Tickets are also available for its next home game, on March 28.
