BOISE, Idaho - After about 1,500 tickets were snapped up in 10 minutes for former Vice President Al Gore's speech later this month, Boise State University has moved the speech to a larger venue and is offering more tickets.

Gore is now scheduled to appear at Taco Bell Arena to give the keynote speech of a conference sponsored by BSU's Frank Church Institute. The speech is set for 7 p.m. Jan. 22 and is titled ''Global Warming: Beyond the Inconvenient Truth.''

Taco Bell Arena is typically used for sporting events. How many tickets will be made available for Gore's speech has not been decided. The arena can be set up in various ways to increase the number of seats.

The tickets at Taco Bell Arena will cost $5.
