Colorado Students and Residents Among the First to See Convention Podium

Colorado residents and students were invited to check out the scene for next week's Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado.

In an effort to give back to the community that has been such a gracious host, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) held a Community Open House at the Pepsi Center today, allowing Denver residents and students to be among the first to see the unveiling of the innovative Convention podium up close and in person.

"When we arrived in Denver more than a year ago, we promised to make this Convention more open and accessible and to 'bring down the walls' of the Pepsi Center -- and today we delivered on that commitment in a big way," said DNCC CEO Leah D. Daughtry. "We're inviting community members to be the first to see the transformation of the Pepsi Center from sports arena to Convention hall and to see where the opening gavel will drop to kick-off this historic Convention. Taking steps to open both of our incredible Convention venues is our way of saying thank you for all that Denver has done to help make this Convention special."
