All tournament games will be played at Northeast Park, located (you guessed it!) on the northeast edge of East Moline, IL. Easy to get to from I-88, I-80, and I-74, Northeast park is a 90-minute drive from Peoria and a 2-hour drive from the western Chicago suburbs. See our maps page for driving directions and a view of the LDSO field layout. Your humble webmaster entered the address (3100 4th Ave, East Moline, IL 61244) into his TomTom and ended up precisely at the entrance to the park.
