Corn Palace official Doug Greenway told Insider.
The day rate for the venue was $1,750, plus fees for light and sound.
In the days since Mike Lindell, chief executive of MyPillow, announced he'd be holding a rally at the Corn Palace in South Dakota, the venue's management has been fielding phone calls from about 30 people a day.

"No one has said: 'Oh, gosh, why are you having this person?' It's, like, 'How do we get in and when's it open?'" he said.
