Obama to take in Iowa Cubs Game

The Des Moines Register has a story that Barack Obama might be taking in an Iowa Cubs game when he is in Des Moines on Wednesday.

Jim Nahas, vice president and assistant general manager for the Cubs, said the Obama campaign purchased 500 tickets for the 7 p.m. game against New Orleans.

The tickets were purchased for the reserved grandstand sections behind the first-base dugout. The tickets cost $9 each.

“His people say he wants to sit in the stands,” Nahas said, “so I’m assuming that’s what he’ll be doing.”

The article also says Obama will likely throw out the first pitch and do some radio spots.
