I'm trying to take my son to the see the rally tomorrow in Dayton. What should I know? I applied for tickets and hopefully will get them today. What time should I head down if hes speaking at 8:00? Is 3:00 too late? If I need to pull him from school thats no problem. Can you bring food in line? Can you bring battery phone chargers in? What do they not let you bring? Any info or recommendations would be appreciated.

Time depends on how close you want to be. I've been to three rallies and the one we got closest, we arrived 8 hours early. My best advice: GOOD SHOES. You'll be standing for a long time. Also, dress for the evening weather.
They'll search your purse, but they won't let you take in backpacks. My experience is food in line is fine. They're fine with cell phones, but I didn't test the battery charger issue, but would be surprised if they blocked them.
Don't know how old your son is so a lot will depend on how long he'll be okay with standing. The one I went to with my Mom and mother-in-law, we were standing for 12 hours before it was over. But none of us had any regrets and they're both in their 70s. It was great!
He's 16. He will be missing school and his first day of wrestling 2 a days. His coach will be pissed, but I'm the parent. I'll try and bring some folding collapsible chairs that I don't care about.
