About this Venue
Wintrust Field is a baseball stadium in Schaumburg, Illinois. It is the home to the Schaumburg Boomers of the Frontier League (FL), which began play in 2012 and captured their first championship in 2013. It is primarily used for baseball, and was the home field of the Schaumburg Flyers baseball team from 1999 through 2010 before the Boomers resurrected the facility for pro baseball in 2012. With a maximum capacity of 7,365 fans, Wintrust Field features 5,665 fixed seats, which includes 16 luxury suites and bleacher seating for 200 people in left field. An additional 900 fans can be accommodated in the lawn area down both the left and right field lines.[4] Its field dimensions mimic those of Chicago's Wrigley Field, and the land the stadium is built on was originally purchased in the mid-1980s as a hopeful site for the New Wrigley Field, had the City of Chicago and the Chicago Cubs not come to terms to bring night baseball to the North Side. Some pro lacrosse as well as professional and amateur softball has also been played at Wintrust Field due to the late start (mid-May) of the independent baseball season. The stadium itself is located west of I-355 off the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway. Now called Wintrust Field, the Alexian Brothers Medical Center in nearby Elk Grove purchased the naming rights to the ballpark in 2000. The stadium was the home of the Schaumburg Flyers from its opening through the end of the 2010 season. At that point, the village and park district which owned the stadium began eviction proceedings against the Flyers for failure to pay $551,800 in back rent. On February 24, 2011, a Cook County court ruled the Flyers could be evicted, ordered the now defunct team to pay the back rent, and the naming rights contract was terminated when there was no professional baseball played in the park in 2011.
