The Broadway Commons campaign has invited 45,000 of its closest friends to a rally Saturday on the site at Broadway Street and Reading Road downtown.
The invitations were sent to everyone who signed the petitions that paved the way for Issue 11. That's the ballot measure that asks Hamilton County voters to create a county charter that aims to require any new ballpark be built at Broadway Commons.
The event starts at 2 p.m., and the campaign plans to take a group photo of everyone who shows up. The campaign also hopes to distribute thousands of "Yes! Broadway Is Better" yard signs at the event. The campaign promises music, refreshments and fun things for kids, too.
The invitations double as a campaign flier, saying: "We know that Broadway is better in every possible way. Actually, the other side also knows Broadway is better, but they've received their marching order -- put a stadium on the riverfront no matter what the cost."
Proponents of a riverfront site say they think the riverfront is better for the Reds stadium and point out the Reds think so, too.
