Team Obama promises it will fill every one of the seats in Charlotte’s mammoth football stadium Thursday night when President Obama closes the Democratic National Convention with a speech accepting his party’s nomination.
For weeks, Democrats have been concerned about filling Bank of America Stadium, home to the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. They feared a devastating image of an enthusiasm gap if Obama spoke to empty upper decks at the venue.
But the Obama campaign says it’s got it covered, and that all 73,778 of the stadium’s seats will be spoken for. The campaign also insists this success will showcase a ground operation that will help Obama win North Carolina for a second cycle in a row this November.
“We’re confident we’ll be full,” Jen Psaki, the traveling Obama press secretary, told The Hill late last week. “We have a great ground operation in North Carolina and we’ve registered more voters than any other state.

I wonder how many UNIONS will bus in their membership? You can guarantee that many attendee’s will be thugs. I expect a lot of purple and gold shirts in the stadium.
Well, of course they will.
When it comes to elections and demonstrations/rallies they’re experts at busing in people from all over.
Fill it with what?
Heck, POSOTUS could probably fill 10 football stadiums and Bill Clinton (Rapist-In-Chief) could probably fill 20 “touch” football stadiums with women. There is no shortage of useful idiots in these “United” States.
Just because they have given out that many tickets doesn’t mean squat. There will be LOTS of empty seats, but the media won’t show them. That is how they “have it covered”.
They’ve registered more voters there than in any other state? Well, isn’t that SPECIAL? IIRC, there are PLENTY of illegals roaming around NC/s;)
How much are they paying?
Of course they will. Ever seen a sign that said “Free Beer!!!”. Never fails.
Someone is getting paid or free dinner...I wish we could interview the people who attend and I can guarantee you they are getting paid.
Hello my baby, hello my honey...
I guess they’ll be handing out a Chick Fil A sandwich to everyone who attends. That will fill the seats.
BTW - I thought they weren’t going to call Bank of America Stadium, Bank of America Stadium when Obama shows up.
free drugs
With empty chairs of solidarity :)
You can't make this stuff up.
There’s a 50 per cent chance of storms in Charlotte Thursday night.
Maybe Barry0 can do the Greek thing again, only this time with Zeus’ lightning bolts and a lovely downpour. I hear that part of the country still needs rain.
