Chicago Bandits owner Bill Conroy was disappointed his 2007 team didn't make the National Pro Fastpitch playoffs.
But for 2008, he has assembled a team that will play with a different style -- and at a new venue.
The Bandits, the city of Elgin and Judson University announced Tuesday the NPF franchise will move to Elgin and play its home games for the next three years at a revamped Judson field while it waits for the city to build a stadium, which it expects to be ready by 2011. The renovations at Judson will include seating for 2,000.
