Just in, if you want to attend to see what they have to say, maybe ask some questions...
"Dear Campus Community,
On Thursday, October 30, the College Democrats will host Lt. Governor Anthony Brown and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at a Brown/Ulman campaign event at Ritchie Coliseum on Route 1. While we are pleased to host this important event, there will be some impact on traffic and parking during rush hour on Thursday afternoon.
The doors to Ritchie will open at 2:45 pm, the program is scheduled for 3:30 pm, and the event is expected to last approximately one hour. The 1,800 person audience will be a combination of University of Maryland students and Brown Campaign supporters. We expect ticket holders to begin lining up outside Ritchie early Thursday morning.
If you are traveling to the event, we encourage you to arrive early and leave plenty of time to travel. Please note that even if you have a ticket, this is not a guarantee of entry. The event is expected to exceed capacity and security screenings will be in effect. Bags will be allowed inside Ritchie, but they will be searched at entry.
Parking on campus near Ritchie is very limited, so we encourage attendees to carpool or take metro if possible. We suggest ticket holders use public transportation. Ritchie Coliseum is about 1/2 mile from College Park Metro. In addition, Metrobus routes run on Route One and stop near the venue. University parking lots will not be available for visitors. We encourage visitors to park in the parking garage in the City of College Park on Knox Road. We also recommend using alternate routes like Paint Branch Parkway when leaving campus.
