We’re thrilled to welcome the Chicago Stars FC, one of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL)’s most dynamic clubs, as they take a major step in strengthening their roots right here in Lake County. The Stars have announced plans to build their first-ever club-owned training facility and headquarters on a 10-acre site in Bannockburn — a visionary, privately developed performance center designed specifically for elite women’s soccer. This isn’t just about infrastructure. It’s a landmark investment in equitable sports and regional pride. Under the leadership of Laura Ricketts, this project represents a powerful commitment to the community that will attract top talent and provide increased visibility for women’s sports in the Midwest. We’re proud to cheer on this exciting new chapter and look forward to the positive impact the Chicago Stars will bring to our region.
