Trump Rally Tonight at Ladd-Peebles Stadium, Tens of Thousands Expected
SPECIAL LIVE COVERAGE BEGINS AT 6:30PM ON NEWS 5 AND LIVE ON WKRG.COM
With his next campaign stop being in Alabama, it’s only fitting that presidential candidate Donald Trump is going to rally up supporters in a jam-packed football stadium.
City officials have confirmed to News 5 the location for Donald Trump’s pep rally in Mobile on Friday night has been moved to Ladd-Peebles Stadium. It’s the same venue used for the Senior Bowl and University of South Alabama home games.
Timeline:
4:00pm (CDT): Shuttles begin from Civic Center and Ladd Peebles Stadium
5:00pm (CDT): Doors Open
7:00pm (CDT): Public Program Begins
Parking // Shuttles
1. Ladd-Peebles Stadium (Parking Cost: $5.00)
2. Mobile Civic Center (Parking Cost: $5.00) (Shuttle to/from Ladd-Peebles FREE)
3. Hank Aaron Stadium (Parking Cost: $5.00) (Shuttle to/from Ladd-Peebles FREE)
“It’s due to an overwhelming response,” said Kayla Farnon, spokeswoman for the Alabama Secretary of State’s Office. “More than 30,000 people have been confirmed to attend. “
News 5 is told Trump’s campaign has gone the extra mile to make the event as accommodating as possible. Shuttles to the stadium will be provided and there will be concession stands for food and drinks.
Trump’s campaign is fronting most, if not the entire bill for the event, including paying the overtime accumulated by Mobile city workers.
TRUMP POSTER
The official Trump rally poster sent to News 5 by the Alabama Secretary of State’s Office.
Wednesday night at his town hall rally in New Hampshire, Trump was excited about his trip to Mobile.
“[Organizers] went to a room for 2,000 people, but that wasn’t big enough,” Trump said at the event. “It’s going to end up at thirty to forty-thousand people in Alabama.”

As we had previously reported, Trump’s town hall rally in Mobile was originally planned to be held in the theater at the Mobile Civic Center, which seats less than two-thousand people.
When ticket demand exceeded that figure, the arena at Mobile Civic Center — which seats ten-thousand people — was considered.
But event organizers ultimately settled on Ladd-Peebles Stadium, one of the largest venues in south Alabama.
“The people are speaking,” Trump said. “It’s an amazing thing, it’s like a movement.”
The only concern now is the weather. Mobile has experienced a steady stream of storms so far this week, with showers in the forecast in the coming days.
News 5 is told organizers are exploring back-up plans in the event that the rally is rained-out.
The Trump media circus is expected to descend on Mobile sometime on Friday evening. Doors open for the event at 5:00pm.
At least 100 national and international journalists are accompanying Trump on his national campaign, which since his “coming out party” at the Republican Debate, has been mostly exclusive to the early primary states of New Hampshire and Iowa.
