DENVER (CBS4/ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS) ―

A protest group planning to bring an expected 50,000 anti-war demonstrators to Denver for the Democratic National Convention might hopes to pitch tents in City Park.

The group called "Tent State University" has an assembly permit from the city for the southwest corner of the park to have college students from across the country gather Aug. 24-28.

The city said the permit is for "approximately 20,000 participants," the Rocky Mountain News reported. Chief Tent State organizer Adam Jung said he dreams of luring up to 50,000 protesters.

The only problem is overnight camping is illegal in City Park.

Organizers are hopeful that negotiations with city officials will allow the group to camp overnight at the park.
