Montana is feeling “the Bern” this afternoon in the Adams Center at the University of Montana. Sen. Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brought their “Fighting Oligarchy Tour” to town.
From all reports, it appears to be a standing-room only crowd. Bernie Sanders has made it clear that no signs, bags or weapons are allowed inside the event. The Adams Center seats around 7,500, so overflow areas needed for an additional estimated 1,500 people.
The University is planning on a “normal day” for the 11,000-students and 3,000-staff. They expect some traffic issues as the event concludes this afternoon and parking on-campus will be at a premium. (Photo Courtesy KPAX-Scripps Local Media)
