2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI think Obama lucked out having it inside...
This speech would have played well anywhere, and I don't doubt he would've packed in 80,000 fans like four years ago, but I also believe this one worked best in its setting. It rocked the place in a way an outdoor speech probably couldn't. I was disappointed when I heard the weather would force a change. Now I think it was a good thing.

There was nothing like the sight of the president accepting the nomination in that stadium. Also, they were sold out already.

if it has been outside. Fortunately she was able to change the tickets and go elsewhere, but she was bummed because she was looking forward to see it.
