Are sections of the stadium reserved for delegations, as they were in the arena?
Brian A.
I'd rather be cycling.
According to TPM, all the delegates are on the field in the stadium.
That's correct and the TN delegation is in a position similar to where it was at the Pepsi Center, when facing the stage TN is to the left.
