Obama rally set for 2 areas of Grant Park
The Grant Park Election Night rally for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will be held in two sections of the park -- a southern portion on the softball diamonds at Hutchinson Field for some 70,000 ticketed guests of the campaign and a smaller non-ticketed event farther north near the Petrillo Music Shell in Butler Field.
Security precautions and logistics have steadily whittled away the size of the crowd expected at the event. Where the gathering once seemed likely to swell on warm weather and high hopes for a hometown candidate, public safety officials doused expectations by restricting which parts of the park will be open and saying they would turn away people if the crowd was too big and unruly.
Still, Tuesday night's rally promises to lure 100,000 or more, and participants will have a standing-room-only chance at witnessing history.
Those who were able to get tickets will pass through heightened security but have a chance to buy pizza and hot chocolate steps away from the stage where Obama will declare victory or concede defeat. For those without tickets, at least one Jumbotron television and extra speakers will bring the event to Butler Field. |
