Sprint and Team field within the Sprint Burndown Chart page (TFS Conchango for VS2010)

Question

We have recently upgraded to TFS Conchango fo VS2010 and have run into some learning pains.  I attempted to run a sprint burndown chart but received an error since the Sprint and Team field was not completed.  The problem is that the Sprint and Team dropdown is empty.  We have looked at the Product Backlog and Sprint Backlogs and do not see anywhere to enter this information.  Does anyone know how I can get data added to this dropdown?

i know this is a really late post however i was having this same issue using a different template so thought i'd comment on my resolution..

We are using SfTS v3 templates and the "Sprint and Team" dropdown in the Sprint reports were empty. 

To resolve this i found that our iteration paths were not structured properly. 

After updating our iterations paths to the match the standard in the following post, it worked for us:

(See "Planning Scope" section)

Originally we were only using "Team Project > Release > Sprint" but now we've updated to "Team Project > Release > Sprint > Team/Iteration" and it worked.

hope this helps someone else..
