This is not an old guys league. Rules permit only one player over 28 to play with each team.

The Standard Bank Stadium, home of the Windy City Thunderbolts, is located at 14011 South Kenton in Crestwood. For advance tickets and a full schedule of games, go online to http://www.wcthunderbolts.com/ and follow the prompts.
