Build-Out Continues for 2008 Republican National Convention
Hundreds of Workers Continue Transforming Xcel Energy Center in Advance of Sen. John McCain's Nomination
SAINT PAUL, Minn. - The 2008 Republican National Convention today released a behind-the-scenes, time lapse video of the ongoing transformation of the Xcel Energy Center into the podium for the Republican Party's nomination of Sen. John McCain.
In the week since work began at the venue, workers have removed 3,000 seats, built workspace for staff and media, and began technological enhancements needed to support the 45,000 participants expected. You can view progress on the GOP Convention's YouTube Channel here.
Stay tuned! The 2008 Republican National Convention plans to release a new video each Sunday, so that all can follow along with the six-week transformation.
