Tuesday night, President Obama will deliver his final address to the nation before he leaves the White House from McCormick Place in Chicago at 9PM EST.

Not only will the outgoing president use the opportunity to reflect on his eight years in the oval office, he'll use the speech to address the future leaders of the country, revisiting the hopeful themes he spoke of during his first campaign, much like FLOTUS did during her final speech last week.

Obama decided not to give his parting remarks from the White House, but rather the place where his political career took off—his hometown of Chicago. He'll speak at McCormick Place, the convention center that overlooks Lake Michigan. On Saturday, thousands of people lined up outside the center in the frigid January air, just for a chance to score a free ticket.

If you're not one of the lucky 14,000 people who managed to get their hands on one, you can watch a livestream of the whole thing below, via the White House website.
