Bernie Sanders Rally Moves to Moda Center
Thursday, August 06, 2015
"Moving the venue was critical. They've had to do this almost everywhere so far, it’s unreal. [Sanders] drew 10,000 in Portland, Maine! I wouldn't be surprised if we doubled that and see 20,000 cheering supporters show up on Sunday," said local Sanders volunteer Casey Houlihan.
The capacity of the Moda Center is 20,000. Shortly after the rally was announced, speculation was 9000 people had already RSVP’ed and 5500 have RSVP’ed on an unofficial Facebook page.
