WILMINGTON, Del. (CBS) -- Joe Biden will accept the Democratic presidential nomination at the Chase Center in Wilmington tonight.

As for the Chase Center, it has been decorated in lights and flags since the convention's kickoff on Monday. The building has mostly only really served as a backdrop and a venue for Sen. Kamala Harris and tonight, Biden to speak live.
