Howard Dean Tours Pepsi Center, Thanks Crews

DENVER (CBS4) ― Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean checked on the progress at the Pepsi Center Wednesday and will tour Invesco Field at Mile High Thursday.

Crews have been hard at work for two weeks and report that they are on schedule; about a quarter of the way to completion.

Dean thanked workers who are transforming the Pepsi Center for the delegates. He seemed pretty impressed with the progress. He told them it's amazing what they've done in just two weeks. With a little over a month to go, he admitted he is getting a little nervous.

"Thirty-three days to go and you're doing a great job, so I'm just going to keep biting my nails until the day this thing opens and in 33 days we'll all be standing with our hand over our heart, saluting the flag," Dean said. "I hope some of you will come because some of you will still be needed to be here to put the finishing touches on."

An announcement is expected Thursday for how tickets will be distributed for Barack Obama's acceptance speech at Invesco Field.
