The U.S. attorney's office in Minneapolis says 23-year-old Matthew Bradley DePalma of Flint, Mich., entered a guilty plea to possession of destructive devices on Tuesday.
DePalma had made at least five Molotov cocktails by the time he was arrested on Aug. 28 in a Minneapolis apartment.
He had allegedly told an FBI informant he planned to attack the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, where the convention was held, and had described a plan to use the fire bombs on police.
U.S. District Judge John Tunheim will sentence DePalma at a later date. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
DePalma remains in custody.
