Mile-high Obama? Invesco Field may be venue
Denver Post ^ | Jul 3 | Denver Post

Barack Obama's campaign is considering moving his nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention from the Pepsi Center convention hall to Invesco Field at Mile High to accommodate the uncredentialed masses, sources say.

The move would mark a major departure from tradition, but would be in keeping with the candidate's desire to build a large grass-roots campaign focused on "change."

It also would leave behind the multi-million-dollar broadcast studios, media offices and high-tech podium and stage to be constructed at the Pepsi Center.

It looks like Barry doesn't want to share the stage with Bubba, and avoid the 50k protesters behind the chicken-wire at the Pepsi Center.

I think he should address the nation from the summit of Pike’s Peak and hand down some golden tablets with “Obama’s Commandments”

Or if 14,000 feet at night is bit chilly, even in the summer, there are plenty of hilltops in CO where he could speak and show us that he is truly the Obamessiah.

That wouldn’t be the first time he was a mile high.

The Rats are already scrounging for $ for the Convention. They’d have to come up with a lot more to do the stadium propaganda piece. But Soros could chip in, I guess.

This is supposed to be the greenest, most environmentally friendly convention ever. How environmentally smart is it to have set things up at the Pepsi Center, and then have to duplicate the effort at Invesco?

Yep, I agree, just send him to Pike’s Peak and let him hand down his wisdom to us huddled masses.

They could do a torchlight parade afterward, too.

Glad I don’t work for Invesco anymore. I’d hate to be associated in any way with a company that’d associate with him in any way.

I think the International Space Station would be a great venue — while standing outside in only the traditional blue suit.

And when people become THIS freaking STUPID and inattentive to their freedoms, THIS is the candidate they deserve.

Hurry before some diversity loving (RIGHT!) Obamaniac at YouTube pulls it.

It's a short walk from the Pepsi Center to Invesco Field at Mile High. The South Platte river is between them. Obama won't need a bridge to cross the river, he can walk upon the water.

mile high barf alert

However, there may be probs with mile high
the Broncos owner and coach are both well known republicans, and I’m sure they have priority as preseason will be well underway.

I’m not sure what would have to be done to render the place safe for human habitation afterward if the dems big event is held at the stadium.

does the city own the stadium? I think Invesco just owns the naming rights and paid for the name. Anybody know for sure?

Thanks for posting this. This was one of the many mental pictures or America's Mugabe pre WWII role model in action in a massive viewing field:

Good call, Bill. Holy crap. Can you imagine the visuals? I can almost imagine the DNC hiring Annie Leibovitz to fill the Leni Riefenstahl role. "Triumph of the Wimps."

The sheer hubris of a move like this is breathtaking to me. Like you guys said, a real Riefenstahl moment.
