Crowd for Donald Trump campaign stop in Mobile could require venue change

Donald Trump's campaign stop in Mobile could prompt a venue change as more people have registered for tickets online than what the Civic Center's Theater can hold, a SMG official said Wednesday.

Bob Brazier, general manager of the Mobile Civic Center and the Arthur R. Outlaw Mobile Convention Center, said "it appears" the attendance during Trump rally "will outgrow" the theater's 1,950 capacity.

"We're looking at everything right now," Brazier said about a rally originally scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday inside the theater. "We're preparing like we might have to move it."

The move likely won't be far. Brazier said there are discussions from the Trump campaign about utilizing the Civic Center Arena in addition to seating an overflow of people in the theater and expo hall. Combined, the entire facility can hold up to around 14,000 people.

Brazier said he isn't sure how many tickets have been issued through Eventbrite.com. He said the coordination is being handled by the Trump campaign.

Romney got 112,000 more votes than McCain and lost to Obama by 138,000 votes compared to McCain’s loss by 215,000. CO has become a blue state largely due to immigration.

Result: HE DID NOT EVEN WIN COLORADO.

Why would anyone expect Romney to win CO?

SIGH, there was huge crowd at the Colorado Red Rocks rally for Mitt Romney in 2012. The place was jampacked, and many people took this as a sign of strong nationwide support for him.

Which was during the general election in October 2012. A big difference from a primary party campaign with over a year to go before the national general election.

those jbush money patrons will have hopefully wasted their money

Probably so rich they can shrug it off. Still, can't wait for the fact of the waste to hit home to them.

No empty chairs in an elementary school gymnasium with the partition wall deployed to cut the room in half and everyone in those chairs falling asleep as jebbie drones on about nothing.

I like Mobile. Used to call on the paper mills there when I was a salesman. Travel through often on our way to Redneck Riviera.

There ain’t a prettier street in the world than Government Street in late March/early April when the azaleas are in full bloom.

I love the neighborhood near downtown HSV when all the dogwoods are in full bloom. Absolutely beautiful. Then the cherry trees at the downtown park are gorgeous, too. I love dogwoods.

When Shrillary spoke in that gymnasium the other day, there weren’t enough people to get a basketball game going.

I would love Southerners to show off some of their best southern boys such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
