Sounds like a neat event. We will probably go to it, but, if you go, get there early. My kids have baseball games at Joyce Park and it's a traffic nightmare! There are only two one lane roads into Joyce Park. And the last time they had a big soccer tournament there they directed all of the traffic to one entrance and used the other as the exit.
