75K
The Democratic National Committee will announce later this morning that the final day of the party's convention will be held at INVESCO Field at Mile High, which can accommodate more than 75K people. So Barack Obama will give his nomination speech outdoors and in front of a massive audience.
Convention activities 8/25 through 8/27 will continue to be held at the Pepsi Center, which seats approximately 19K.
Howard Dean and KS Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, the convention co-chair, will speak with reporters later this morning about the switch.
Readers -- Does the move reinforce GOP complaints that Obama is all flash, no substance? Or will the enormity of the event speak volumes about the movement created by the IL senator's campaign and the power of his message? Will it diminish John McCain's big MN moment, or allow him to look the more modest, reliable and safer choice?
