Destination Information

Chicago Southland, Illinois

Bedford Park, Illinois places tournaments at Wintrust Sports Complex in a close-in Chicago suburb, giving events the travel access and lodging depth of the greater Chicago metro. The Chicago Southland region markets directly to event organizers through its convention and visitors bureau, which runs a dedicated sports program for tournament and event planners.

Travel access is a standout advantage. Bedford Park sits immediately adjacent to Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW), one of the closest airport-to-venue relationships of any facility in the region, which simplifies arrivals for teams flying in. Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) provides additional national and international service from roughly 20 to 25 miles north. That dual-airport access makes the venue reachable for teams traveling from across the country.

Because Wintrust Sports Complex is an indoor facility, its basketball, volleyball, and pickleball events can be scheduled year-round regardless of season, a meaningful advantage in the Chicago area, where winter weather rules out outdoor play for months. Indoor tournaments can fill the winter and early-spring calendar that outdoor venues cannot serve.

For visiting teams and families, the location offers substantial lodging density across the surrounding suburbs and quick access to downtown Chicago's attractions, dining, and entertainment, roughly 12 to 15 miles northeast. The combination of a brand-new high-capacity venue, immediate proximity to Midway Airport, and a deep metro lodging base makes Bedford Park practical for multi-day tournaments drawing regional and national teams.
