Open letter to the Chainlink:

If you own or know of an empty warehouse or other large space currently unused in Chicago, Chicago Hardcourt Bike Polo is looking for a home during the winter months.

We're serious about our fun and our competition. Hardcourt bike polo is played in over 275 cities (and quickly growing) worldwide and Chicago competes internationally, currently ranked 2nd in the world from our visit to Berlin this summer. An indoor practice space would greatly help us ensure that we continue to improve and grow our community, while also remaining competitive for what looks to be a phenomenal 2011 season.

The details: we're not picky but ideally looking for 120 x 60 of open indoor space that we can outfit with temporary plywood boards. We are willing to entertain multiple scenarios - rent, shared space, sponsorship (eager to discuss details), barter (make building improvements, maintenance, etc.) - whatever it takes to let us play the game we love!!!

After three years of shoveling, we're ready to move on up to the Big Time. Assistance from any of you gracious folks would be most welcome.

Please visit our website, chicagohardcourt.com, to see what we've been up to and who currently sponsors Chicago Hardcourt.

Thanks all!!!
