The Star-Telegram must be supporting Hillary.

I don't believe that they have any athletic teams so the gymnasium may not have much seating capacity. I know of several gymnasiums in the Dallas area that have a maximum seating capacity of 500-600. There are fire code regulations after all.

Who knew

since one of my roommates played basketball at Southwestern. Usually those gyms were used for staggered class registration before everything went online so only 15% of the student body would be there at once.

The gym that I am thinking of specifically is at the University of Dallas in Irving. There are bleachers on one side of the basketball court and the walls are about five feet beyond the court on the other side of the court. There isn't much room available on the ends of the courts either. In some school districts it would be considered as a practice gym.

Here is the coverage about the Austin event:

AUSTIN – Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton will be in Austin Tuesday evening for a private fundraiser.

The front runner for the Democratic nomination for president in 2016 will be attending a $1,000 per plate dinner in the Rosedale area of Central Austin.

Austin Mayor Steve Adler will also be speaking at the event.

KVUE News has learned an estimated 200 people will be at the event.

A couple of my friends lived in the Rosedale neighborhood in the late 90s. It is an upper middle-class neighborhood between 38th and Shoal Creek Boulevard west of Lamar. There are a few apartment buildings, but it is mostly single occupancy housing with a few renovated garage apartments.
