President Obama lands on the Sand Hill Road fields

April 20th, 2011

Here’s something you don’t see every day. About 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 20, five large helicopters, including the president’s Marine One, landed on the heavily secured Sand Hill Road fields, where intramural games are played. The fields are located just off Sand Hill Road, between the hospital and Stanford West.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA was on his way to Facebook, which is located in the nearby Stanford Research Park, for a town hall meeting.

Prior to his arrival, hundreds of Stanford and Palo Alto police, U.S. Marshals and Secret Service personnel secured the area.
