Empty seats? Oh yes
LOL
VOTE BLUE AND VOTE KAMALA
This is so silly. The seats were blocked by sound equipment. Obviously they weren't selling those seats
You're being caught being disingenuous once again, unless you believe that this "sound equipment" actually spans half that Ohio arena...
Before his second mandate, Trump would have easily filled out every seat of this indoor venue, but today they have to pack the audience into half an arena to make it look full.
Same in TN earlier this weekend:
Nebraska last week:
Notice as well that a large proportion of his audience are Boomers.
Maybe the rally I'm speaking of is different but the left tries to do this to every rally Trump has. There was a rally yesterday or the day before where seats were open due to it being covered by the sound and lighting equipment.
Stage placement is a major factor in which seats were available or usable.
The Covelli Centre (capacity roughly 7,000 for stage events) uses different configurations for concerts and stage shows, including full house, three-quarter house, and half house setups. In a typical end-stage configuration, the stage is placed at one end of the arena. Sections directly behind the stage, or those with severe sightline problems (especially once press risers, camera platforms, and production elements are in place), are often closed off because people sitting there cannot properly see the stage.
Local reporting from the October 12, 2026, Trump midterm rally confirms this in practice:
Roughly a quarter of the seats were tarped off (intentionally closed).
Of the seats that remained available, only about two-thirds filled up.
The venue was described as roughly half full earlier in the evening, with several sections remaining empty through the event despite energy in the occupied areas.
The photos match this layout. One image shows a large American flag hanging over a big empty section, which is consistent with covering or de-emphasizing a poor-view area (often behind or beside the stage). Other empty seats align with areas critics noted as being behind press risers or otherwise obstructed. Emily Davies (the original poster) later acknowledged tarps over certain sections and also shared views of fuller areas.
In short: Stage placement and production setup explain why some sections were closed or left empty by designthose seats simply aren't practical for an end-stage rally. At the same time, the remaining available seats were not fully occupied, which local coverage characterized as relatively sluggish attendance overall.
Notice that boomers are the ones who actually vote lol
