Security Information

Even with a ticket, attendees can anticipate having to clear some pretty tight security to get into Wednesday’s event.

“All attendees will go through airport-like security and should bring as few personal items as possible,” the Romney campaign says. “No bags, sharp objects, umbrellas, liquids or signs will be allowed in the venue.”

Cameras are allowed.

What’s the Schedule?

Rally attendees can start moving through security around 8:45 a.m., according to the campaign. The program is anticipated to start at 10:45 a.m. Exactly when Romney will appear is unclear as the event has a full slate of speakers, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and Congressman Connie Mack.
