Obama Speech Moved Indoors on Account of Rain

President will accept nomination at Time Warner Cable Arena not Bank of America Stadium

|


Democratic convention officials on Wednesday moved U.S. President Barack Obama's acceptance speech inside on Thursday because of severe weather forecasts, canceling plans to hold it in a 74,000-seat outdoor football stadium.

The address will now be in the approximately 20,000-seat Time Warner Cable Arena, which has housed the first two nights of the convention.
