COLUMBIA, S.C. – Due to sustained and overwhelming demand, the Obama for America campaign announced a new location for Sunday’s rally with Sen. Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and special guest Oprah Winfrey: Williams-Brice Stadium at the University of South Carolina. The original site selected, the Colonial Center, does not have the capacity to accommodate the tens of thousands of South Carolinians who signed up to attend the event during the first few days seats became available, and the location is being changed to accommodate all who wish to attend.
The event is free and open to the public, and tickets are no longer necessary for admittance, but people are encouraged to RSVP online.
“This event has injected an incredible enthusiasm in our grassroots base and excited many other voters who haven’t been closely following the primary race,” Obama for America South Carolina Steering Committee member Inez Tenenbaum said. “When we saw folks had lined up in the early morning hours outside of our Columbia office when seats became available, and thousands signed up within hours, we recognized that the Colonial Center was going to fill quickly. The move to Williams-Brice Stadium will allow us to accommodate every South Carolinian interested in attending and learning more about why Barack Obama is the candidate who will bring change we can believe in.”
New Location:Williams-Brice Stadium at the University of South Carolina, Corner of George Rogers Boulevard and Bluff Road, Columbia, S.C.
Doors open: 12:30 p.m.
Event start: 2:30 p.m.
Those interested in attending are encouraged to RSVP online at: http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/scoprah
