The fourth United States event in the NXL season is returning to Gaelic Park in Oak Forest for the Windy City Major on September 15-17.

“We’re thrilled to welcome NXL paintball back to Gaelic Park and the Chicago Southland,” said Jim Garrett, president/CEO for the Chicago Southland Convention and Visitors Bureau, who added: “This high-octane sport is must see entertainment for adrenaline seekers like myself!”

The National Xball League’s Windy City Major will host more than 200 teams from all over the world with 4,000-plus players and fans expected to descend on the Chicago Southland. Aside from the professional and amateur paintball competitions, other attractions for participants and spectators alike include music, food and drink vendors, cornhole, and volleyball, as the competitors vie for the Midwest Championship Title. A vendor trade show also will be on-site selling equipment.

Visitors can catch all the amateur action and trade show vendors for free for the entire weekend. General parking also is free. To watch the professional competition on the Pro Main Stage, grandstand and VIP seating options are available. Adult tickets start at $10 per day, with children’s tickets at $5 per day.
