On Thursday, Jacksonville will be the center of the political world, at least for a few hours.

President Barack Obama is set to speak on behalf of Hillary Clinton at the University of North Florida on Thursday afternoon.

Not to be outdone, GOP Presidential nominee Donald Trump will be in Jacksonville at noon Thursday, speaking at the Equestrian Center.

Doors for the Trump event open at 9:00 a.m.

These facilities have roughly similar capacities.

The arena holds 6,300; though the Equestrian Center holds 3,700 in permanent seating, it can accommodate 2,800 more on the floor.
