For those of you who are interested in learning about the more personal side of the Wellstones, there is a very special audio feed on Minnesota Public Radio here:

One of the people interviewed for this program is Sam Kaplan, the man who gave the eulogy at Paul & Sheila's private family funeral yesterday.

The news began telling people around 5 PM local time that they should not come to Williams Arena, because the arena, and the overflow annexe, and the sidewalks and streets outside are all full. It is estimated there were 20,000-25,000 people at the site before the doors opened at 4:30 PM. The indoor capacity was 20,000.
