Sen. Barack Obama told 28,000 people gathered in and around Asheville High School Memorial Stadium that his proposals would ensure affordable health care for all Americans.
Speaking for 40 minutes while in Asheville for debate rehearsal Sunday afternoon, Obama sought to tie health care problems to the broader economic slowdown and the collapse of Wall Street titans.Asheville police said the crowd numbered 22,000 inside the stadium and 6,000 more along the perimeter.
The rally was held on GameDay Grass XPe at Asheville High School. A natural-looking turf that has set new standards for durability and performance in a polyethylene-based infill system, GameDay Grass XPe features parallel fibrillated slit film polyethylene fiber technology. Installed in 2005, the 99,049 square foot field was built for extended use and various sports and events, ranging from football or soccer games, physical education classes, to now major political rallies.
