The Opening Finals Schedule??
Having only to drive about 15 miles to Nike's campus, I've been thinking of checking it out next week in person. But the power of the Google is letting me down and I've not been able to find a schedule anywhere for the Opening Finals or the Elite 11 Finals.
Has anyone had better luck?
Google owns.

Its in 8 days, however there is no start time listed, but it probably is going all day long
July 8th-10th.
Invite only to watch though bud.
It is not open to the public. I believe family and your high school Coach, or whoever is your guardian on the trip is allowed to watch.
But they may not have the TV scheduling down yet? It seems it's "last minute" and difficult to find every year.
And you would think the Nike Opening and Elite 11 Twitter feeds would be all over it.

"8 days." Extremely specific...

Scout states it'll take place 7/5-7/10.
Mostly drills the first few days if I remember correctly and then ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU airs 2-3 days of action. Something like that.
I definitely want to see Team Hypercool in 7 on 7s. D Mc to DPJ, will start here and continue in AA.
I think you/we all overestimate the camp observation experience, at least I did. I was one of the very few non-parent/coach that actually attended the Elite 11 camp in redondo beach about a month ago and I also stopped by the harbaugh LA camp last weekend.
I was fairly excited to check them out but in both cases I only stayed about an hour. There's not much to really see from the stands, dozens of kids running around doing the same drills, etc. And it's tough to even recognize who you are supposed to be watching for those 2 seconds when player X goes up against player Y.
I guess my point is these things are not nearly as exciting or dramatic as you'd think. I will probably never waste my time to go to these things again even if they are just a few miles away like they were for me. I'll just rely on the scouts' observations and videos that emerge.

I'm assuming the 7 on 7 play will be the most interesting and counter to UNCWolverine's experience.... at least I hope. I'll report back if I can make it out -- which looks a little less likely now that I got my daughter's weekend soccer tournament schedule.
