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.

If I get a vote, it’s Redskin’s stadium.

Largest NFL capacity at 91,000 and it will blow away the Leftists who have fought to end the Redskin team name.

F’m!

Go Trump.

But, alas. How could they get everyone involved with the convention down to beautiful downtown Akron?

Think of some of the people that will be there. I doubt anyone will miss them when the party heads to the stadium.

If he really wanted to tweak the Dems he’d have Greek columns . . .

...and then blow them up during his speech!

So one side of the stadium has the TTRUMP supporters. The other side the protestors. Or maybe just the ends. Giant telethons mid field with DJT somewhere else with the delegates.

Fireworks from the top overhead. With all NEVER TRUMPS being shot out of cannons into nets across the goal posts.

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

Or the stadium of the reigning Superbowl champions.

Trump can use that one after he is sworn in!

Dems will be filling the ER after that spectacle!

“Rabbi Jonathan Cahn did a message on it on the internet called “Mask of the Gods.”

Drives me nuts when they want people to take all the time to watch a video. I could read the text in a hundredth of the time.
