Schaumburg Boomers

The Schaumburg Boomers play independent professional baseball in the Frontier League at Wintrust Field, 1999 Springinsguth Road, a village-owned ballpark on Schaumburg’s south side beside the Metra Milwaukee District West station. The name honors the greater prairie chicken, a bird that lived on the Schaumburg prairie within the last century; boomer is the nickname for the male, whose courtship call booms across the grass, and the mascot Coop wears the bird’s orange comb. Home games run May through September with promotional theme nights, youth team experiences, birthday parties and catered picnics. Ticket options run from a family lawn pass to private suites and the Jim Beam Club.
