It will be a 40,000 square foot facility that is expected to be completed by December 2025. The cost for the facility is listed at $38 million.

The new practice home will be a significant improvement over the Sky’s current facility – which is a park district court (Sachs) in Deerfield, Ill.

Sachs Recreation Center is about 30 miles away from Wintrust Arena while the new facility will only be 11 miles away.

“We could not be more excited to announce a practice facility that will raise the bar on athletic performance, set the standard for player amenities, and support our players with exceptional resources built exclusively for them,” Nadia Rawlinson, Chicago Sky Co-Owner and Operating Chairman said in a statement. “Living in downtown Chicago will also give Sky players the opportunity to experience all of the benefits of our world class city. We thank Bedford Park who stepped up to be part of the first of its kind public-private partnership for a WNBA practice facility and to bring this transformational vision to life.”
