There are a million terrible puns here but I'm not going to use them. Yesterday saw the kickoff in NYC's Grand Central Station of the Bear Stearns Tournament of Champions Squash 2008 (whew) -- that's right, squash players in the train station.

Earlier today, a squash tournament kicked off inside Grand Central Terminal. Yes, inside! The Bear Stearns Tournament of Champions Squash 2008 started matches today, and the tourney continues through next Wednesday. Over 150,000 commuters are expected to watch the top squash players compete.

A glass-walled court was assembled inside Vanderbilt Hall at the terminal; there are tickets Ticketweb and there's also free seating for the public. And via SquashTalk, here's a list of squash courts in the area.
