1. It would be so awesome if the Coliseum was filled

and there was an overflow crowd.

What a sight and message that would be !!!!!!!!

Keep fighting for us Bernie !!!!

2. We are going.

Which council member objected to a member of the Senate holding a rally at the Greek Theater?

Deserves to have a hard time ever getting another office in this state.

3. I don't have any information on the council members' identity.

Have fun at the rally.

Please clap, cheer, and scream for me.

I will be watching from home on the internet.

Sometimes I clap, cheer, and cry when I watch the rallies.

4. perhaps fate has stepped in -

because a 6k venue is far too small for the crowds that will want to come hear bernie.

it will be hot and with all of this room - there will be plenty of room to defuse any ill intention.

5. Seems to me this idiot Council person just gave Bernie a yuuuuge boost

A few thousand more have opportunity to see him and thus increasing his audience and exposure. Council person has to be a Hills shill. Get em out of office.

6. I got an email today about this concert

to be held at the Coliseum. When my millennial son heard about it, and found out it's FREE, he said he was going and bringing some friends. It will be packed, I'm sure, so the unknown city council member did Bernistas a big favor. I'll get all the details from my son, and hopefully some pix.

7. David Ryu

The council member was not named in the message, but a Sanders campaign source said it was David Ryu, a Democrat whose district includes the theater. Ryu is a supporter of Sanders’ Democratic primary rival, Hillary Clinton. In the email announcing the venue change, the Sanders campaign noted that Clinton had “scheduled an identical event” at the Greek Theater next week and “no objection has been raised.”

---

Estevan Montemayor, a spokesman for Ryu, said the Sanders campaign’s claim about the councilman is “inaccurate,” in a conversation with Yahoo News.

The Greek Theater is operated by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks and managed by a company called SMG. Montemayor said the councilman found out about the planned Sanders event on Thursday evening and stepped in because they had “deep concerns” about potential crowds.

“As the council office, overall, we oversee everything that’s in our district,” Montemayor said, adding, “We were made aware of this in the last 24 hours, and we asked if there was a traffic mitigation plan and a ticketing system. We were told no, and we had deep concerns. Sen. Sanders has proved he draws thousands of people.”

Though Ryu did step in, Montemayor said he made the same requests of the Sanders campaign and the Clinton team.
