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.

A stadium address is going to be a nightmare for Secret Service.

I’ll bet when he wins he won’t be on a stage with Grecian columns all by his lonesome without his family around him like 0bozo did; then too, he won’t have a special “office of the president elect” either.

Trump is a populist, not a progressive.

First Energy Field...drill, baby, drill.

I don’t think neither one is going to be big enough...if your put three football fields together, maybe....any less it’s standing room outside...

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

Pittsburgh (Steelers) or Boston (Patriots) would be good Karma.

Well they did it for Obama in a stadium. So they have some guide for how to secure the site if that’s what trump wants to do.

same thing got me ... the “Progressive**” name it OUT!
THO .. maybe, being The Donald, he will give that word a whole new meaning.

ESPECIALLY if the field is named for the insurance company whose primary owner is as far left as it gets, thus the name itself.

Jugears spent $160m of taxpayer money for his acceptance speech and liberals applauded.

If Trump spends $100m, liberals heads will explode at the waste of money.

Bet on it.

Forget the “Greek Columns” that’s for egomaniac, Nero Caligula Obama!!! Just fill the stadiums with common men, women & children, of all stripes, etc, that Obama, Clinton, the Democrat Party, The CBC, The NAACP, the druggies, the women slave traders, the illegal immigrant murderers, etc. that have been royally screwed by Obama/Clinton & company, these last eight years!!!

Don’t copy the Model O used it was modeled after the Seat of Satan in Pergamos mentioned in Revelation it is the place that Antiochus epiphanes was coronated before desecrating the Temple in Jerusalem setting off the Maccabean revolt and Hitler loved the design because the pagan temple had been moved to Berlin( the Germans bought the temple from the Ottomans in last 1800’s and in the early 20th centuryThey built it brick for brick in downtown Berlin. Obama spoke at the original sight before his election and copied the pillars for his acceptance speech thus bringing the demon from “the seat of satan” to his acceptence speech which accounts for his demonic behavior.
I know it sounds far fetched...and I do hope you don’t totally dismiss it because Rabbi Jonathan Cahn did a message on it on the internet called the “mask of the God’s”

I think he should do it on the deck of an aircraft carrier. It could be docked somewhere where they can have a big crowd on shore as well as on the deck.

If the crowd gets out of hand, they can fire on them with anti-aircraft guns.

That would be the worse thing he could do. He does not want to be associated in any manner with Obama.
