Obama to Make Acceptance Speech at Mile High
Jul 07, 09:59 AM CST
History will be made in Denver on August 28th. The story:
Confirming rumors that surfaced last week, the Democratic National Committee announced Monday that Sen. Barack Obama will make his acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High instead of at the Pepsi Center, where most of the convention will be held.
The reason for the move is to open the event up to the public and to allow tens of thousands of more people to actively participate in the process, DNC officials said.
The Pepsi Center can hold 21,000 people for special events but Invesco Field at Mile High, the outdoor stadium where the Denver Broncos play, can seat more than 76,000 – not including the thousands of seats that could be placed out on the field.
Unfortunately, the DNCC has not yet released information on how people can go about getting tickets to the speech. Stay tuned for details.
