C'mon you insular city dweller! Between a 6-man team, ONE of you guys must own a car, right? 4 inside, 2 in the trunk, strap your gear on top.
The complex has a
web site, but there's really not any useful info on it. Doesn't even have the upcoming tournaments listed yet. I haven't played at this place yet, but since my club is hosting the tournament (though it's not at our typical practice venue), I imagine that someone there has.
I'll ask about the place this week and let you know what I hear.
It's definately easy to get to, even for people who may be more accustomed to taking the El.
Just straight outta the city West on the Ike, then follow 88 West at the Hillside Strangler to North Aurora. It's just offa the highway. Barring any unreasonable (as opposed to the typical) construction delays, figure around 45 minutes from the Loop area.
Hey, bring a women's team too. I always play better when there are women to show off for.
