You have DII Lewis University just down the road from you in Romeoville. Here is their schedule for the 2012 season. They usually have a good team every year.
Lewis University Flyers - 2012 Softball Schedule
If you're feeling like trying the city you have DePaul, UIC and Loyola for DI action. You also have Northwestern in Evanston if you're looking for BIG 10 games.
All of them play on the weekends during the spring. Take your daughter to see a couple of the games and you'll see just how fast the game can really be.
I can't speak to all the facilities, but you'll probably find it interesting to go to Northwestern's field. If your impression of college softball is watching the WCWS, or games at Arizona, ASU, UCLA, etc. be prepared for a shock. Sharon Drysdale field is basically just a little better than a good high school softball field. It's not quite the palace you see on TV.
We always go to as many SIU games as we can. We go to most home games when we aren't playing. DDis really excited this year, since her new pc is one of their asst. coaches. They have a very nice facility.
We're big UGA fans in our house so we are gonna try to make it to atleast one of their games. Her pc is also the dd of UGA's associate hc, so we are gonna try to do a lil name droppn. I can't wait to see their facility.

Minnesota has a beautiful park to play in. The location isn't the greatest (it's by some railroad tracks, kind of tucked into some land they could scrounge up), but the park itself and the seating are great.
Wisconsin has an awesome stadium for the Badgers to play in. We take ourteam to a game every year. They get to go on the field with the Badgers. Its really a neat experience.
Banditscoach,
That is a little far away for us in Superior... and our teams have not been selected because they are still playing high school ball. We do try and take them to a Duluth Huskies game during the season.
What level do you coach?

We took DD last weekend to a DII tournament a couple of hours away from home. Watched some very good softball and had a lot of fun.
Last year we took her to every level of softball from JC to DI just so she could see the difference in the level of play. At 15 last year, it helped her to know what level she wants to try to get a scholorship at.

I think DD might be able to play HS ball, we’ll see. Her interests might change, she is not allowed to have a boyfriend until she is in her 40s then maybe. I like watching how good the players are. They do so many little things right that DD is starting to appreciate.
