Hillary rally post-DNC to be held indoors at Temple

The post-DNC rally with Hillary Clinton on Friday will be held inside at Temple University instead of on Independence Mall, as previously planned, because of the threat of significant rain, thunder and lightning, her campaign announced Thursday.

Hillary Clinton's post-Democratic National Convention rally on Friday will be held inside at Temple University instead of on Independence Mall, as previously planned, because of the threat of significant rain, thunder and lightning, her campaign announced Thursday.

The Democratic candidate for president and her running mate, U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, are to appear together at the public rally from noon to 1 p.m. at Temple's McGonigle Hall, 1800 N Broad St. Doors will open to the public at 9:30 a.m.

Former President Bill Clinton and Kaine's wife, Anne Holton, are also expected to attend.

After the rally, the Democratic candidates will embark on a jobs-focused bus tour across Pennsylvania and Ohio, the campaign said.

Those interested in attending the rally are asked to RSVP here.

Temple released the following information on parking and transportation for the event.

There won't be parking allowed on the 1800 and 1900 blocks of North 15th Street, the 1800 block of North Broad Street and the 1400 block of West Montgomery Avenue.

Hourly parking is available at the Cecil B. Moore lot (1223 Cecil B. Moore Ave.) and the Tuttleman lot (1205 W. Montgomery Ave.). The Liacouras Garage (1710 N. 15th St.) will also be open.

SEPTA's Broad Street Line and Regional Rail both stop at Temple University near the venue. The transportation agency is expecting to release information today about how the rally will affect service there.
