Barack Obama made a surprise appearance at the Pepsi Center just after Joe Biden wrapped up his vice presidential acceptance speech.

Hundreds of reporters and delegates that had been streaming out of the arena stormed back in when Obama hit the stage.

The capacity crowd of 19,000 greeted the presidential nominee with the ovation usually reserved for stoked fans at a rock concert. Then again, it’s no secret that a political convention isn’t much more than a show.

The convention moves Thursday to Invesco Field, Denver’s football stadium. More than 75,000 people are expected to attend.

The weather forecast for the outdoor event is 70 degrees and clear.
