Nanker Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 What? I thought it would be a grandly grandeously greatly grand venue of venues. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2198206/Democrats-set-Obamas-big-speech-74-000-seater-outdoor-stadium-20-000-seater-indoor-arena.html
WorldTraveller Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 I've been reading that they are paying organizers and buses to try to fill up the stadium, and are hauling in Union and out of state people to the convention. Talk about "astro turfing"
B-Man Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Democrats set to move Obama's big speech from 74,000-seater outdoor stadium to 20,000-seater indoor arena, citing "severe weather" Gosh I feel sorry for those 54,000 who are going to miss out now, how sad for them. PS, I am quickly selling my stock in Greek Columns "R" us ..............................................lol
DC Tom Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 What? I thought it would be a grandly grandeously greatly grand venue of venues. http://www.dailymail...door-arena.html Couldn't expect them to hold it in Bank of America Stadium, could you?
TheMadCap Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Couldn't expect them to hold it in Bank of America Stadium, could you? I jsut assumed it was to be held at Time Warner downtown. However, it appears that I was mistaken and that they had planned to have it at BoA? Dum de dum dum DUM!!!
/dev/null Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 This is why Obama will win The Republican Convention only had 1 famous empty chair The Democratic Convetion has 50,000 empty chairs. And all are registered to vote in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, and Colorado
Joe Miner Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 If they can't fill a factory with jobs, why would you be surprised they can't fill a venue with people.
IDBillzFan Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 He should just do what the Panthers do...cover 50,000 seats with tarp and call it a sell-out.
Joe Miner Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 He should just do what the Panthers do...cover 50,000 seats with tarp and call it a sell-out. Probably want to avoid using a black tarp for racial reasons. And to be safe, you shouldn't call it a TARP, because Obama's not sure whether he's blaming Bush for that or taking credit for it himself.
WorldTraveller Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 They'll get the stadium filled up at all costs.
TheMadCap Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 He should just do what the Panthers do...cover 50,000 seats with tarp and call it a sell-out. No, that's the Jags. Panthers do fine...
Nanker Posted September 4, 2012 Author Posted September 4, 2012 Now they say they've got SHRINKAGE! http://m.washingtonexaminer.com/tiny-convention-floor/article/2506813 Gasp!
IDBillzFan Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 No, that's the Jags. Panthers do fine... When you say fine, do you mean the NFL definition of fine, as in "They mostly sell out games" or the Obama definition, as in, "The private sector is doing fine"?
TheMadCap Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 When you say fine, do you mean the NFL definition of fine, as in "They mostly sell out games" or the Obama definition, as in, "The private sector is doing fine"? Since I have no idea what the second is, I choose the first option.

Wacka Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 If you count all the bedbugs and roaches staying in the hotels with the delegates and press, that should fill up the stadium!
TheMadCap Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I'd be stunned if they go through with the BoA venue. My guess is they move it to TW arena, seeing how they already threw a convenient out by mentioning "unless the weather gets bad". Clever...

Being confirmed by DNC this morning; they're moving out of the Bank of America Stadium because of its name and the fact that Obama couldn't fill it to save his life. I mean, weather.
Nanker Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 This truly is an American tragedy. I was so looking forward to the busloads of college students and the great army of his supporters holding high their candles and lit Bic lighters to the night sky. Well alright, the scene would have looked more like a birthday cake for a grammar schooler than a forest fire. What a shame. Bad weather huh? Pity.
