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. 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.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Wintrust Field” as statidum located in Illinois. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as statidum located in Illinois. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7430999. Authority coordinates are 41.993, -88.118. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2013, 1999 and 2010.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
