Obama To Give Acceptance Speech In Football Stadium
With his ability to pack stadiums, Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination for president Thursday, Aug. 28 at Denver’s INVESCO Field at Mile High, the Democratic National Convention Committee announced today.
INVESCO Field, home to the Denver Broncos, can accommodate more than 75,000 people.
“The Democratic Party is nominating a true change candidate this August, and it is only fitting that we make some big changes in how we put on the Convention,” said party chairman Howard Dean. “Senator Obama’s candidacy has generated an enormous amount of excitement and interest, not only in the Democratic Party but also in the 2008 Convention. By bringing the last night of the convention out to the people, we will be able to showcase Barack Obama’s positive, people-centered vision for our country in a big way.”
