Bush in Hershey PA on Thursday in Large Stadium

[JPZenger]

Hershey PA is not far off of I-81 and the PA. Turnpike in southcentral pA. The Hersheypark stadium holds over 20,000 - it should be easier to get tickets than in other locations.

I imagine Bush will be flying into the Harrisburg International Airport, south of Harrisburg and then coming in Route 322, possibly to Hersheypark Drive. There are very large unfenced but gated parking lots around the stadium that are owned by Hersheypark. My guess is that they will only let people into the parking lot if they have a ticket to the event. There are very few other places to park nearby unless you want to walk a mile from areas that are close to the center of Hershey to the south.

From today's Harrisburg Patriot - www.pennlive.com

1. How are they going to fill a stadium for a Bush speech?

use. :evilgrin:

3. I don't understand why we need to know this

Unless it's for a protest,why is this needed on a dem site? Who in here really wants to see that dumb phuck anyway? :wtf:

4. Response to Question - To Protest

In most Bush appearances, the attendance is very carefully controlled. I am guessing that the rules will be less strict in a large venue - they will not be as strict in handing out the tickets. Therefore, it may be possible for protesters to get into the rally.

5. That's different if it's for the benefit of protesters....

Ya kinda had me a tad worried there for a minute. :hi:
