Barack Obama's big speech on tomorrow night will be delivered from an elaborate columned platform resembling a miniature Greek temple, it has been revealed.
The stage is similar to structures used for rock concerts and has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos' American football team plays.
Up to 80,000 supporters will see Mr Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of the White House, to accept the party's nomination for president.
He will stride out to a raised platform to a podium that can be raised from beneath the floor.

Can we just launch him into space then and be done with it.
Why do they need a replica Air Force One!? WTF?
Why does this remind me of the “Stonehenge” scene from Spinal Tap?
The “ORACLE OF DELPHI” will speak!!!
Who in the HELL (that is the right word IMO) does this asshat think he is ...
Man if I didn’t see this in print with my own eyes I’d think it was a joke......then again, it is obama-rama-lama-lama-ding-dong-dork so nothing surprises me, this a$$clown has brass ones that’s for sure.
Come on now,,,,,any CORONATION at least needs a TEMPLE!!!
Now being reported that is is to be a reminder of the MLK-in front of the Lincoln Memorial “I have a Dream” speech moment.
Not a ‘i m a god’ moment ;-)
Well, they’re not going to have to worry about security. By the time they’re done with all the props and staging, there won’t be room for an audience.
Funny, cuz the current AF1 is/are a 747, not an old 707
I guess he is going to make his exit via the mock up of AFOne. I think that is a bit over the top..this guys ego is at least as big as that stadium. This is SNL fodder..
The GOP should run a parody of this at their convention.
Then downsize and run a 48 hour convention.
a full-scale replica of air force one, eh..
don’t those a*shats realize air force one is now a 747?
I was about to post the same thing re: Spinal Tap
“Our Greek Temple was in severe danger of being trampled by a dwarf!”
In a word, Zeus. When we leave God out of the picture, mankind elevates itself to that status.
I wonder too, what’s with the replica of Air Force One?
I wonder about the Greek temple too. This may become a Greek tragedy, the way this convention has played out, with all the back biting and sniping by the PUMA Clinton people.
Or are the temple pillars supposed to help us make the subliminal connex to the Greek Revival pillared ‘White House’?
The grandious Barak Hussien Obama.....we got either Mt Olympus or White house!
