Eager to get a glimpse of INVESCO Field at Mile High, the recently announced site for the fourth night of the Convention, I was able to join a few local media outlets today for a sneak peek at the sports complex.

DNCC CEO Leah Daughtry and Deputy CEOs Travis Dredd and Cameron Moody were on hand to walk the site with Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper and Denver City Councilwoman Judy Montero. 

The DNCC is working closely with city officials, and Leah and the team discussed many aspects of the August 28th event including potential seating arrangements, entrances to the field, and staging concepts. With the help of various stadium seating maps, the team began laying the groundwork for the monumental finale to the Democratic Convention.

At the top of today’s agenda was the participation of Denver and Colorado residents.  Our phones here at the DNCC have been ringing off the hook with requests for tickets. To ensure that Coloradans will have access to this historic event, the team chatted about the development of the “community credentials” program, which aims to make the fourth night of the Convention open to as many Colorado residents as possible. (Ticketing details aren’t available yet – but sign up here to be alerted with an e-mail when an announcement is made.)

As I stood on the manicured turf at Mile High -- tempted to strike my best Heisman pose -- I tried to picture the incredible scene that would be taking place here in a few weeks. Hopefully you can begin to envision this extraordinary setting– take a look at some photos from today’s visit to INVESCO Field at Mile High:
