St.. Louis filled their 22,000 seat arena and turned people away. They sold 65,000 tickets. St. Louis had scheduled The Enterprise Center and the event was moved to the larger inAmerica’s Dome...

It only holds 18,000.

It looks like no one had an answer Bill. Did you ever get a response from the contact you made?

I wonder if there are more than two Birminghams? My ancestors who were deported to the colonies were homesick so they re-used names from home.

Gymnasts tend to have more boobage.

Volunteering would be fun.

Birmingham will suuuuuuucccckkkk.

There’s probably some of that commentary on Levlava’s YT account. . I haven’t opened those in years.

May 25 Nationals. June 11 trials. july 15 Qualifications.

Trials dates:

I had it pretty close. Maybe I looked it up once and remembered it.

The Olympic Qualifications start July 15.

Pretty far ahead still. But speculation is fun. Birmingham says they have bid for the trials and it isn’t one of my choices of places to go. https://www.wbrc.com/2025/06/17/birmingham-finalist-host-trials-2028-us-olympic-gymnastics-team/ Any rumors on who else may have bid?

Probably! There might have been more because no COVID restrictions but 70,000 is unreal.

I’ll set my sights on trials. At $1000 for the whole event it was a better deal to go to. I imagine the prices will be more ridiculous in 2028 though. St. Louis had only around 20,000 in attendance and I think the number of 70,000 for Minneapolis is exaggerated.
