The Chicago Sky team has revealed their plans to construct a state-of-the-art practice facility worth $38 million by the start of the 2026 season. The impressive performance center will span over 40,000 square feet and be situated adjacent to the Wintrust Sports Complex. It will include multiple full-sized courts, round-the-clock access all year round, and collaborations with esteemed organizations such as The Obama Foundation and YMCA of Metro Chicago. This ambitious project will be financed through a public-private partnership with the Village of Bedford Park.
In a statement released by Nadia Rawlinson, co-owner and operating chairman of Sky, she expressed her enthusiasm for this venture stating that it would not only enhance athletic performance but also provide top-notch amenities for players while offering them exclusive resources tailored specifically for their needs. She also extended gratitude towards Bedford Park for being part of this groundbreaking initiative – making it one-of-a-kind in terms of WNBA practice facilities – and bringing this transformative vision to fruition.
