Trump campaign eyeing big stadium for acceptance speech (Cleveland's football or baseball stadiums)
CNN ^ | Updated 12:38 PM ET, Sat May 28, 2016 | Jim Acosta

Donald Trump's campaign is considering booking one of Cleveland's big sports venues for his acceptance speech in July, two GOP sources familiar with the planning of the upcoming GOP convention say.

The sources said First Energy Stadium, home of the Cleveland Browns, and Progressive Field, home of the city's Indians baseball team, are the two sites under consideration for Trump's acceptance speech on the final night of the convention.

One of the sources said the campaign is closing in on signing a contract for use of one of the two venues, with the football stadium currently the favorite for Trump's speech.

"It's going to be a big production," a Trump campaign adviser told CNN. "Given Trump's profile and how he handles things, nothing is off the table."

"And he's going to be intimately involved in it," the adviser added.

. . .no.

It would START with Greek Columns, and Trump would come onstage in a bulldozer, and plow them down. . .

Well, if he is serious about winning Ohio, Cleveland Browns First Energy Stadium or the Cleveland Cavaliers Quicken Loans Arena is the way to go!!! The only place better would be at Ohio Stadium where the Ohio State Buckeyes play, but that’s in Columbus.

I’d go for the Cavs arena so you don’t have to worry about weather. Wow, what a show it will be!!!

At least they are getting an early heads up.

I would point out that the lefties will be out in full force to attempt to disrupt the RNC. Adding a huge venue will only add to that. The baseball field would be easier since it is next door to the convention site. The football field has water on three sides.

Security around the stage would have to be unprecedented. Rumplehair/Hitlary supporters would stop at nothing to take him down.

God protect him.

The biggest venue is Cleveland Browns stadium -73,600.

Three times the size of either Cleveland Indians Progressive Field or Cleveland Cavs Quicken Loans Arena.

Those Greek columns were a replica of the Pergamon altar, the throne of Satan.

He may not call it the “office of the president elect”, but I bet he will spend a lot of time at his new hotel down the street from the white hut.

Trump doesn’t want to address only the delegates...

He wants as many supporters on hand as can fill the stadium.

Looks like that’s his plan.

I want Greek columns, jet flyover, and monster trucks!

And motorcycles, and boy & girl scouts, and police, and choirs singing, and high school bands . .

Making his acceptance speech in the stadium the Browns play in is bad Karma

It's a stadium where others can come and win massive unimaginable victories!

The Browns stadium is by Lake Erie. Everything else about the convention is inland. It's a good idea.

“Progressive? NOOOO! The Lewis family, owners of Progressive, is a MAJOR DONOR TO LEFTIST CAUSES!!!

I noticed that the most recent “Flo” Progressive commercial where the family (all members played by her) are out camping, throws in a subtle Bernie shout-out. Something like “burn (Bern), burn (Bern)... isn’t that what all the kids are saying now?” Or maybe I’m just being paranoid and reading too much in to it.

I hate Progressive!!

You sure? Pretty good screening process on those entering, a contolled situation.

"....and boy, would the protestors come out!"

And, boy, would the media pundits go into orgasmic frenzies covering a huge, out-of-hand, destructive riot.

They live for tabloid visual sensationalism. Most of them have political lusts of their own as they avidly try to find ways to pin the turmoils, assaults and arsons on Trump....all the while doing their best like carnival barkers to draw millions of gaping viewers to their respective networks....for their own publicity and for their own network's blood-soaked ratings and advertising revenue.
