CNN: Trump wants a sports stadium for his acceptance speec

(CNN)Donald Trump's campaign is considering booking one of Cleveland's big sports venues for his acceptance speech in July, two GOP sources familiar with the planning of the upcoming GOP convention say.

The sources said First Energy Stadium, home of the Cleveland Browns, and Progressive Field, home of the city's Indians baseball team, are the two sites under consideration for Trump's acceptance speech on the final night of the convention.

One of the sources said the campaign is closing in on signing a contract for use of one of the two venues, with the football stadium currently the favorite for Trump's speech.

"It's going to be a big production," a Trump campaign adviser told CNN. "Given Trump's profile and how he handles things, nothing is off the table."

The more I learn of Donald Trump the more I understand why he feels "small fingered vulgarian" is one of the most hurtful things ever said about himself.

this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal;

When he won the nomination in 2008.

That way we not only get good tv but we can troll all of his evangelical supports about God show His thoughts regarding the small fingered vulgarian.

The Factory of Sadness, nothing good comes out of that field and although I am a Browns fan I will take one for the team and suffer knowing he just cursed his campaign.

although I would bet that he could be the greatest quarterback for the Browns. His throws are the best.
