Thanks could not find the actual capacity.

Do you know how many came to the Republican Convention? I heard 50,00 including reporters and such.

I saw the same 50,000 total figure. The seating for the Forum is listed as 13000 to 19000 depending on configuration. Thinking about tradition pre-Obama, wasn’t it customary for a Presidential candidate to make his acceptance speech at the same place where the convention is held?

The location that was good enough for the delegates wasn’t grand enough for “the one”, I guess.
