Mayor Sam Liccardo has called South Hall, the city convention centers oversized blue-striped tent in the heart of downtown, a dog. Liccardo also is a loyal Democrat and Hillary Clinton supporter. When Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump came to town for a campaign rally, did that factor into the city offering up the eyesore to Trump? That doesnt appear to be the case. Dave Costain, chief operating officer of Team San Jose, the nonprofit that runs the city-owned McEnery Convention Center, was reluctant to discuss the event booking, citing a confidentiality agreement. But he eventually offered this: South Hall was the only facility with sufficient space to meet the Trump organizations requests and that was available on the date and at the time requested.

"And although the city had two days to prepare for the rally, it appears communication was lacking. The Trump campaign reached out to Team San Jose on May 27 nearly a week before the June 2 rally. Team San Jose officials contacted Liccardo. But City Manager Norberto Dueñas didnt hear from either of them, and Chief Garcia had no input on where to put Trump."
IOW, woopsie! we goofed...
Another incompent gov’t? In Calif? Run by ‘Rats? Unexpected!
Glad they lost the Stanley Cup! A pox on them (and I hate the Penguins)
OTOH they could hold a Hillary rally in a phone booth or better yet, a jail cell.
Does anyone else notice the jarring contradiction between the start and the end of the article referring to (imho biased or negligent or both) Mayor Sam Liccardo??
Lol
This is a permanent tent. It is quite cavernous, although not Moffett Field Hangar One USS Macon cavernous.
It is used for a variety of things, including orchestral rehearsals.

Understood.
But it's not as if San Jose couldn't have afforded a real building.
This looks like someone took a surplus Quonset hut and painted it like Hillary Clinton's old 1960's circus pants!
