Update, 11:08 a.m.: 

As of 10:30 a.m. Friday morning, the Potomac Nationals’ grandstand was filled with spectators. A smaller portion of spectators were surrounding the pitching mound and home plate. President Obama spoke along the third base line, in front of a “forward” sign, the campaign’s slogan. 

Other event-goers filled in the outfield, which had picnic tables and kids activities including a bounce house and batting cage.

Just before 11 a.m. two helicopters landed on one of the practice fields outside the stadium. President Obama was spotted walking into the stadium and briefly waved to spectators inside.
