  • Accessible seating is available near the rails on the mezzanine.

PHOTOGRAPHY

  • A photography area to capture a photo of your graduate crossing the stage will be available on the field level. We ask that you exit the area once you take a photo of your graduate in order to ensure that everyone is able to get a photo.
