Trump campaign leases events center on UCCS campus for Friday rally

Donald Trump will be in Colorado Springs Friday.

University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak says, and Trump’s website confirms, his campaign has leased the Gallogly Events Center for a rally on Friday.

On Trump’s official website you can register for tickets to get in the event.

Shockley-Zalabak provided the following event details:

The University Center Upper Plaza and Upper Plaza east and west access will be closed beginning at 7 a.m. on Friday until mid-afternoon. The Bookstore, Clyde’s, the Copy Center and Sanatorium Grounds Coffee will operate normally.
The Pedestrian Spine walkway through the University Center will be closed most of Friday. Students, faculty and staff who need to traverse from buildings on the east side of campus (Main, Cragmor, Dwire, etc.) to the west side of campus (Columbine, Osborne, Engineering, etc.) will need to find an alternative route. Those holding tickets for the Trump event are likely to line up on the pedestrian spine in front of Dwire Hall and Main Hall. Non ticket holders will be directed to the Cragmor Green space or to outdoor space on the first floor of the University Center.
Parking in lot 222 in front of Centennial Hall will be restricted to media and disability parking. If you normally park in this lot, I ask that you park in another lot or the Parkway Garage. The visitors will be asked to park in the Alpine Valley garage and will pay to do so.

Shockley-Zalabak said extra security in the form of officers from the Colorado Springs Police Department, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, The Secret Service and Campus Police are expected. She says rules similar to those used in airport travel will be in effect at Gallogly and Berger Halls.
