Drive-in theaters are a good place for these political rallies.

You drive in, drive up to an unoccupied space, reach out your window to the post, take off the speaker, turn it on, and listen to the candidates speak. If there are any drive-in theaters left, this would be a good use for them. This is what I keep thinking when I hear Biden or Obama speaking and the car horns honking. The last time I saw a movie at a drive-in theater must have been more than 40 years ago, in the 1970s some time, and I wonder if there are any of them left?

a few years ago. You didn't even need the speaker, you just tuned in to a certain radio station.
