Al Gore’s ETSU talk moved to mini-dome

Former Vice President Al Gore will speak in East Tennessee State University’s Memorial Center next week to accommodate as many listeners as possible, ending concerns by some they would be denied access.

Gore will deliver “Health Threats and the Climate Crisis” at 7 p.m. Thursday in the university’s major sporting event complex, also known as the mini dome, allowing roughly 3,000 people to hear him speak.

Originally, Gore was scheduled to speak in the D.P. Culp University Center’s Martha Street Culp Auditorium. The university had provided for about 800 free tickets to the auditorium and about 900 more for additional broadcast sites on campus. All those tickets were gone within one hour of becoming available on Thursday, prompting the circulation of petitions on campus to get the venue changed to accommodate everyone who wants to attend.
