Crowd starts to line up
Hundreds of people had lined up outside Minges Coliseum at by 3 p.m. today to see Sarah Palin.
People brought chairs to sit in, umbrellas to shield themselves from the sun, and fast-food to munch on while they waited for doors to open at 4 p.m.
The mild weather was making for a pleasant wait, while scores of police officers patrolled the area, some searching with dogs.
The GOP vice presidential candidate is scheduled to speak there later tonight. Officials are expecting a capacity crowd at the 8,000-seat venue, and tickets have been hard to come by.
Officials said overflow seating will be at nearby Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
