Completion of the Sky’s new training facility in Bedford Park “will be delayed into 2026 as the team and the village expand the original plans for the building,” according to Julia Poe of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE. The $38M facility “originally was expected” to be completed in October 2025. But after “altering the original construction plans to expand the facility,” the Sky and Bedford Park “now anticipate that completion will be delayed several months.” Despite the additions, the Sky indicated that they “expect the facility to be available for training camp in April 2026.” According to a published copy of the meeting’s minutes, “the suggestion that the Sky were ‘having trouble’ securing a loan sparked alarm among some fans online.” The reality is “more mundane” -- fluctuating plans for the recent additions to the training facility “have altered both the construction plans and the final cost estimations for the project.” Until the new details are finalized, the Sky “will not pursue an application for a loan,” which is why the village and the team agreed to an altered payment plan. Village of Bedford Park President David Brady confirmed that the village and the Sky “remain in lockstep in regards to their financial agreement” (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 4/21).
