RNC Reveals Stage Set-Up for National Convention

The stage design for the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee has been unveiled by the Committee on Arrangements. The event is scheduled to take place from July 15-19.

Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley expressed his excitement about the stage design, stating, “Just looking at that stage, it’s very exciting to see it. Red, white, and blue are going to look pretty good in Milwaukee come this July. We could not be more excited about bringing the convention to Milwaukee and being able to roll out President Trump’s nomination here and roll Milwaukee out to the rest of the world. We’re bringing 50,000 delegates, guests, and alternates here to Milwaukee, and we could not be more excited.”

The stage at the Fiserv Forum, home of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, combines aesthetic considerations with cutting-edge technology to be the centerpiece of the event.

Anne Hathaway, chair of the Committee on Arrangements, provided details about the stage, mentioning that it will feature nearly 1,200 high-density LED panels of varying sizes and composition. The stage is 26 feet tall and 60 feet wide, with multiple protrusions to create an immersive experience for viewers.

Hathaway also highlighted the stage’s versatility, enabled by LED panels, to create different looks each night of the convention based on the theme of the day.

Regarding President Trump’s participation, Whatley stated, “We expect President Trump to be here to accept the nomination. We’re very excited about that. Obviously, if we need to make contingency plans, we will. Right now, we are all steam ahead expecting he’ll be here to accept the nomination.”
