I'm thinking of driving into the city, but the web site has no mention of where to park. Does anyone have any info on parking?

Agree with JB on the Brooke v almost any big with regard to athleticism - takes very little to be big, but the McPeak/Sweat/Van Zweiten/Lindquist/Brian Lewis types have to be among the most athletic players out there to simply compete. And I would put a hundo on Brooke v Kerri in the zero to 10 yard sprint, which is what you really need to have in volleyball, IMHO.

I think once teams start getting a beat on Brooke & Summer, their great results won't be that great anymore. Brooke can't put the ball away!

I will go out on the limb and say that April & Lauren break thru for the win. If not, expect April to start searching....She is too great of a player to settle for mediocre results. Even if it's only a 1 year deal with Lauren.

There's literally hours of video available for other teams to study. The partnership is new, but their individual strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies are not.

But doesn't change the fact that that Brooke can't put the ball away esp against the great teams on the FIVB. Summer won't be able to carry this team all summer. They may be able to take a few AVP tourneys. Not sure they can beat Lauren & April or Sara & Kelly on a regular basis.

Now I am not sure, but I would still think Kerris is fairly equal there.

I'm sure we'll find out this week about who is the best current US team.

I give piotr a good chance against them. He has a better partner this tournament. There bracket is stacked!
I see guys are picking mark burik losing. I don't know his partner. Is his partner any good? I give the edge to mark winning that bracket assuming his partner is good
