Never been to a game, but got to walk through the stadium. It's really nice!
I'd say it holds 7 to 8 thousand people.
The city It's in has well over 150,000 people, and the county is around 5 times that. So, the audience is there.
They are not affiliated with any major league teams, but both Chicago teams have used them for rehab time when guys recover from injuries.
They changed names a few years back, but they've been in that park for 20 years now.
People tell me the games are fun.
