Organizers move opening of Democratic convention amid talk of money woes | Fox News

The host committee for the Democratic National Convention in September says it is moving Opening Day ceremonies from a race-car track outside Charlotte, N.C., into the downtown to bring more Americans closer to the heart of the political-related events.

However, news reports state the decision to relocate the event from the Charlotte Motor Speedway -- roughly 18 miles outside of the city – is really another cost-saving measure for a financially-struggling operation.

Organizers said the move was based on logistics, including making better use of public transportation.

But sources tell Bloomberg News the committee is faced with a roughly $27 million funding deficit.

They've gone from this...

...to holding it in downtown Charlotte. I guess they had less attendance interest than they thought.
