The media can’t stop talking about the crowds Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is attracting. There are reports that his crowds in California and Portland, Oregon were both larger than 27,000. They breathlessly report on this, while forgetting to mention Sanders is a self-described socialist.
But what Donald Trump and his campaign has planned for TONIGHT in Mobile, Alabama could blow those numbers out of the water. Initially planning for a rally of 2,000 people at a small venue, tickets were grabbed so quickly that major changes had to be made.
Now, the event will be held in the Ladd-Peeles Stadium, a football stadium where the yearly Senior Bowl is played. More than 30,000 people have been confirmed to attend, and the stadium capacity is over 40,000. The free tickets are still being claimed at a fast pace, and show no signs of slowing down!
To put that in perspective, that’s bigger than the largest crowd of President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, when Oprah Winfrey joined him in South Carolina! That means this Trump event will smash through crowd records effortlessly!
With his next campaign stop being in Alabama, it’s only fitting that presidential candidate Donald Trump is going to rally up supporters in a jam-packed football stadium.
City officials have confirmed to News 5 the location for Donald Trump’s pep rally in Mobile on Friday night has been moved to Ladd-Peebles Stadium. It’s the same venue used for the Senior Bowl and University of South Alabama home games.
“It’s due to an overwhelming response,” said Kayla Farnon, spokeswoman for the Alabama Secretary of State’s Office. “More than 30,000 people have been confirmed to attend. “
News 5 is told Trump’s campaign has gone the extra mile to make the event as accommodating as possible. Parking will be free, WAVE shuttles to the stadium will be provided, and there will be concession stands for food and drinks.
Trump’s campaign is fronting most, if not the entire bill for the event, including paying the overtime accumulated by Mobile city workers.

Here is a picture of the massive venue:
I’m as nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof about Trump’s safety. I don’t trust the gopE. They’re more afraid of him than the democrats are. When they should be afraid of his supporters....US!
Yep, Trump’s massive showing will be “a bunch of Alabama retards on their way to a football game made a wrong turn and ended up at Trump’s event.”
I think it's not an actual photo but a painting. But either way, with all that gold, it looks more like its from the Palace of Versailles than from the Oval Office in the White House.
Nothing showing up on the link. I’m mountain time 3:15 pm. Has it started? I am also watching the local news.
LOL
Yeesh.
I don’t like it at all!
Anyone know if the event will be televised, e.g., Cspan, Fox, etc.?
If we don’t want Jeb Bush as our candidate, then we need to all vote for the frontrunner. Any vote caat for anyone other than the frontrunner is a vote for Jeb Bush!!!! Get it????
“I’m as nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof about Trump’s safety.”
Me, too. I pray every day and will do extra tonight. Also praying for good weather so he can get his message out.
Hard to see how Trump can lose in his presidential quest, at this point.
We’re looking at a Reagan-level BLOWOUT.

Obama’s(they were Styrofoam or something weren’t they?)columns reminded me of the Stonehenge disaster in “This is Spinal Tap”.
At least 0 had them made to scale.
Thrump 1 just did a fly over of Mobile and the Stadium. Low enough everyone can see the big black 757 with “THRUMP” on the sides.
Good because I”m BACK!!! from my blood donation =)
There is no way I want to miss this.
Wow what a big difference. I’m surprise Big Ears wasn’t chowing down that dog in the picture. LOL
o by the way - has anyone seen Bo lately?
This may be the only chance this century that you have any say whatever in who the party nominee is. Reagan was an anomaly maybe Trump is another.
Fox 10 TV
I watched it.
It sounded about like his other rallies.
These guys get a stump speech they like and they pretty much stick with it.
These days folks have already heard it 20 times before it is delivered to them in person. Trump should shake it up a bit, but then I can’t say it was my consulting services that brought him to this point either. LOL
