Historical Spotlight: Democratic & Republican Convention Locations
August 24, 2008 – 12:03 amAs the Democratic and Republican National Conventions kick off this week and next, I thought it’d be fun to take a look and see where each convention took place. I’ve managed to compile a partial list of every major US political convention dating back to 1972.
Democratic Convention venues
Republican Convention venues
You’ll see that Madison Square Garden is the most popular spot for either party; the Democratic Party hosted their convention three times in the famous arena (1976, 1980, and 1992) during the modern era, and the Republicans made their first visit there last year in 2004.
This is far from a complete list though! If you want to help fill out the list, you can use these Wikipedia lists of Democratic and Republican National Conventions to help compile more of these locations onto Concharto!
