LIVE from Cheney Stadium: Logistics update

Welcome to the beginning of our live coverage of today's Rally for Change in Tacoma, Washington, with Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden.

The NPI team is reporting to you live from on site. It's a bit chilly here at Cheney Stadium, but everyone seems to be dressed warmly, which is excellent.

The parking lot at Henry Foss High School and Cheney Stadium is completely full, so if you haven't arrived here yet, don't try to park there.

The line to get in the stadium currently stretches several blocks around the parking lot. The doors are open and people are filing in, but it's slow going because it takes time to move people through the security checkpoints.

If you're in line, just be patient...there's plenty of space inside, and you shouldn't have a problem finding a place to sit or stand. In fact, there's quite a bit of space still on the field in front of the podium where Joe Biden will speak. People are being invited to come down to the field.

It will undoubtedly be full by the time the main program begins.
