Charlotte, North Carolina - Democrats are poised to avoid the danger of President Barack Obama accepting his party’s nomination before a partially-empty stadium by shifting his speech to an indoor arena and citing ‘severe weather’. The Obama campaign have been working desperately to ensure that the 74,000-seater Bank of America stadium in Charlotte would be filled. Buses for students from across North Carolina and even members of black churches in neighboring South Carolina have been arranged. Images of rows of empty seats at the stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, as Obama speaks on Thursday night would be politically disastrous

Betcha the word goes out tomorrow that 'for the safety of all due to thunder/lightning in the forecast, closing freaktivities will be held in the TWC Arena'

They already know that stadium will be half empty and this is some serious CYA going into effect.

What is the history on that photo?

Two companies "Inflatable Crowd" and 'Crowd in a Box' provide these blow up torsos (dressed, 3-D masks) to fill out crowd scenes for numerous movies/commercials/music videos/TV shows/political events. In fact two of the pics are 'crowd' scenes from the movie 'The King's Speech. The other pics are representative of what these companies can offer.

There were initial reports of the DMC/unions busing in ‘extras’, bribing attendees to fill BOA Stadium., I posted these pics setting forth what various political operatives are capable. Not too unrealistic as desperation for a filled stadium can muddle judgment. And is also feasible that the MSM can edit their 'views', their angles.

As for that particular pic you inquired about….just collected it from the ‘net’.

What will be interesting is if they bus these people in from South Carolina and then move indoors....with no room for them. I have a feeling they will decide tomorrow to stay indoors, though.
