Wells Fargo Center Begins Taking Shape Ahead Of DNC

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Final construction is underway around the Wells Fargo Center for the Democratic National Convention, which begins Monday in Philadelphia.

The first thing you notice is the eight-foot Pope-style black security fencing that rings the Wells Fargo Center property, including XFINITY Live. That fencing is set up along stretches of the north side of Pattison Avenue as well, along the Citizens Bank Park lot.

The Wells Fargo parking area near Lincoln Financial Field has been taken over by a series of huge media tents for the thousands of journalists who will cover next week's convention.

And crews are still erecting walkways and awnings for security screening areas onsite.
