Overview
- Team and village officials held a beam‑signing to mark enclosure progress at the Wintrust Sports Complex, with the exterior largely shaped but the roof and some walls still to come.
- Executives expect the site to be operational by spring 2026, targeting April use with flexibility on final completion as the WNBA schedule is not yet released.
- Plans call for two side‑by‑side courts, locker rooms, weight rooms, team offices, a staffed kitchen, player services areas for hair and makeup, and an observation deck for guests.
- Bedford Park will own the building and cover roughly $32 million, with the Sky paying the remainder under a 10‑year lease that includes a 10‑year renewal option.
- The revised timeline follows design changes, including reorienting the courts, with interior details still being refined after recent player feedback, and the project sits within the complex’s Phase 2 expansion that adds separate indoor turf fields.
