to let the regular folks play ball for once.

We don't know yet (5.00 / 1) (#62)

whether it will be regular folks or not.  From the Unity appearance, it's not likely that any non-Obama Dems will be welcome.

Can they really fill that stadium? (3.66 / 3) (#164)

Conventions are long and tiring, no matter how excited you are about a candidate.  Yeah, everyone tries to be there for the big speeches but it sure helps to actually be on site first.  

How many people are actually going to move venues and how many will just leave?

So, the DNCC's answer is to fill seats from the community.  Then, why bother being a national delegate, which starts around $3000 a pop for air/hotel?  One of the few perks of being a national delegate (and face it, people, most of you will be faces in the crowd) is having an exclusive ticket to see The Speech.  It's a reward for working your rear off for months and probably spending a lot of your own money.  

Or, you could just drive to Denver for the afternoon and take in a concert.
