The New York Post’s Josh Margolin reports that top campaign aides for President Obama are worried that he won’t be able to fill Bank of America stadium during his convention speech in Charlotte, N.C.

“They’re worried they can’t fill the stadium,” the official said, adding that the president is “viewed differently” than in 2008.

The stadium, which seats 80,000, has been referred to as “Panther Stadium” by Democrats, as they are anxious to avoid connections with one of the nation’s largest banks.
