The last time Denver hosted the Democratic National Convention, a not-yet-gray Barack Obama stood before 80,000 people in a stadium pulsating with excitement and chants of “yes we can” as he accepted his party’s nomination for president of the United States.⁠
⁠
Twenty years later, Denver’s city leaders want to recreate that moment: the thousands of eager visitors, the national focus on the Mile High City, the event that sparked a decade of Democratic political successes.⁠
