The Dallas ballroom at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel has a capacity of 2800

The University of Houston - Cullen Performance Hall seats 1500

Hopefully those will change to larger locations as people continue to RSVP

3 major rallies in 22 hrs is a lot. I hope that Bernie is taking care of himself.

They'll probably get 1500 just from UH! I hope it gets changed to a bigger venue.

It's been moved to Hofheinz Pavilion, and they think they may have to move it again. At least according to a volunteer coordinator I spoke to on the phone.
