"We're setting up the arena in such a way that we can maximize the number of people," he said. "Our response to the event tomorrow night is overwhelming, and we want to make sure that we get as many people in the arena as we possibly can."
The Coliseum is set up for 13,500 people. It's first-come, first-served for seating and standing room only on the floor.
The Coliseum parking lot, which has a capacity of 2,750 people, will be open at 8 a.m. There will be overflow parking at the Old Broadwater Golf Course with shuttle service provided.
Doors to the Coliseum open at 4:30 p.m., and Trump will speak at 7 p.m.
Coliseum officials said the best advice for those wanting to come see the Trump rally: arrive early; have patience; and expect delays in both traffic and security process.
No contraband, no posters and no bags of any kind will be allowed.

Great picture... thanks for posting.
You’re welcome, GOPJ! We’re were glad to get all those good shots!
WTH? I don’t see any klan robes or “rebel” flags. And, how come there’s no spaces for cars in the parking lot? The article says there’s space for 2,750 people. What the heck. LOL! Hopin’ it was a ‘hugh’ success. Been in the coliseum many times.
The air was electric in that place last night, JonRick. It was astonishing that we got to be so close to him. I could've shaken his hand, but I was busy trying to get Ms. Onyx in the picture with him at the same time (which led to my "art deco" picture in comment #608 :-). It was a heck of a night, and as you say, a bit of living real history.
What did Trump say about FreeRepublic? He likes us?
Wow as good as it gets!
thanks for sharing onyx once again thanks for being there!
Thank you both for the pictures and commentary. I read the whole thread this morning. I had a family event last night that kept me away.
Worked on some doubtful family members last night. The grassroots are energized and it is great freepers such as you that help keep that energy flowing. God bless.
Happy, happy, happy:
Thanks for the link monkapotamus:

“I had the time of my life!
Donald Trump signed my Trump cap, put my hand into two of his, and said “FR does wonderful work, darling.”
I remember the darling perfectly but not his exact words about FR and Gina doesn’t either, except that he made it known he held a positive view of FR.
FABULOUS NIGHT!!!”
Since the cameramen won’t show the crowds, maybe next time Trump’s guys could walk up and stand behind him holding up a big mirror?
:-)
There are some crowd shots from last night here:

See if you’re in them.
Oh yeah. I’ve been banned from some of the premiere rightwing websites on the ‘net. Quite the badge of honor.
Thank you, Georgiarat! :-)
100% correct. You're observant.
Trump has been using terms, "Stupid" to describe those in government. For now he'll refrain from using more appropriate terms such as, "Tyranny, oppression, oligarchy, dictatorship, totalitarian government etc.
Last night in his rally he came out with: BEHEMOTH....
be•he•moth (bÄ-hēˈmÉ™th, bēˈə-mÉ™th)
â–º
n.
Something enormous in size or power.
And he was speaking about the size of crowds and support he is receiving...and NO ONE is maintaining these large crowds...it’s said that 15,000 in the main arena and across the street 10,000 more people....and these people are there just to listen...yes they are, but they are mostly his supporters and a lot of them aren’t telling pollsters who their voting for, mainly because it isn’t anyone’s business....
Hey AuntB, good to see ya.
You guys have excellent points. The corrupt political wheels are starting to coming off the D.C. machine. It’s being exposed by Trump and his supporters. And the insider opposition are doing everything than can to keep those wheels on as the machine cartwheels down range.
Yep, it was a big turnout. Folks down there are justifiably fired up. America better get it right this time, as we’re all but out of time. And I think tens of millions fully understand this.
