After a rough pandemic year in 2020, Quad Indoor Sports, the 65,000 square-foot facility at 2454 Oakton St., is back on track for further growth, said co-owner Bill Kindra.
The domed sports center opened in January 2016 and has been ramping up with an extensive menu of sports for adults and kids, including soccer, flag football, basketball, lacrosse, dodgeball, kickball, disk golf, track and field, floor hockey, baseball and even pickleball and cricket. Soccer, basketball and softball tournaments are scheduled for December, January and February.
The facility is also available for team building and corporate events as well as bridal showers, bachelor parties, birthday parties, bar mitzvahs and weddings. There are adult soccer and basketball leagues. Even Hollywood has gotten in on the act: A Chicago-based TV series recently filmed a scene on site.
Kindra said the pandemic threw a wrench into Quad’s year-over-year growth. Pre-COVID the facility was hosting 5,000 to 10,000 people a week, but last year’s pandemic restrictions limited participation. “We’re back on track now,” he added.
