Revolution Rally is moving to the Target Center

Posted at 8:56 AM on July 22, 2008 by Tom Scheck

Ron Paul's campaign has moved its September 2nd rally to the Target Center in Minneapolis. The event was scheduled to be held at Williams Arena on the University of Minnesota campus but the Paul campaign issued an e-mail saying they moved it to the bigger site:

Tickets will go on sale for the Rally for the Republic this Friday, July 25 @ 10AM CST. We want this to be an unforgettable day, so we are holding a ticket bomb all day Friday in the tradition of our famous money bombs. How many seats can we sell on the first day?

In patriotic fashion all tickets will cost $17.76, so you can afford to bring the whole family.

This leads me to the second big announcement. After measuring the excitement and enthusiasm, we decided that the Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota was just too small to hold you. Therefore, we are making a significant upgrade. The Rally for the Republic will now take place at the Target Center, the largest arena in Minneapolis!

Paul also says two internationally known musicians will play at the event. Reports say one of them may be Willie Nelson.

Update:

Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said it's not Willie.
