BALTIMORE (AP) - Baltimore's police commissioner says more than 100,000 people are expected for President-elect Barack Obama's speech on Saturday, but the venue can only accommodate about
30,000.
Baltimore is one of Obama's "whistle stops" on his trip by train to Washington for his inauguration. He's expected to speak at the War Memorial Plaza next to City Hall.
Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld says officials are working on overflow sites.
He says officers will start ushering people through metal detectors around 11 a.m., but the event won't start until hours later.
