Yes We Will - Fill It

The Obama campaign says it will will the 73,000 seatr Bank of America stadium for president Obama's acceptance speech Thursday night in Charlotte.

Well, it's a nice goal, but if crowd counts at other Obama rallies are true, the stadium could be only half-full from Obama supporters.  Stories have been circulating in Charlotte and other locations that tickets were being given out and transportation provided for the Charlotte event.

Only the Obama campaign will know how full the stadium gets. The campaign and the DNC control the pool cameras and all of the images leaving Time Warner Cable Arena and Bank of America stadium.  As of now, only pool coverage will be allowed on Thursday night.  The networks covering the event will only be allowed cameras in their anchor positions no additional cameras will be allowed.
