The following is a report for ABC-2 News regarding Obama's trip to Baltimore on January 17, 2009 :
The exact route has not been announced, but we would imagine Barack Obama will arrive at Penn Station on his train trip from Philadelphia, PA to Washington, DC.
The president-elect’s inaugural committee announced that trip will happen three days prior to Obama being sworn in as president.
The committee says Baltimore’s history represents the theme of his trip, “Renewing America’s Promise.” The committee noted Baltimore is where that promise was defended then immortalized in our national anthem, referring to the attack on Ft. McHenry during the War of 1812.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld says his department will prepare for 150,000 people. The venue has not been announced yet, but M&T Bank Stadium may be one possibility. The stadium held 90,000 people for a music festival in 1998.
Barack Obama will be in Baltimore on January 17th.
Well I know it will be Ravens Stadium because it is the only place that can hold that amount of people. If you are looking to come to the event on public transportation, take the MARC Train which will be running the entire weekend. You can purchase your tickets now.
Also the MARC Train will run to the BWI Business District Stop which is down the street from where the party will be. You can take the train there and get a pick-up. You will just need to let me know the day before. For those that don't want to deal with traffic, I suggest that you take the B30 Bus from Greenbelt to BWI. It only costs a few bucks and can get you to the event .
I will be taking the train to the Light Rail train to the Obama event and then the hotel shuttle to the party. We will adjust the time of the event for those brothers that may want to come to the party directly after the event. This way you can get your freak on early and not have to wait around.
