“Each year we have increased the number of graduations held at the facility. We feel this is a testament to the convenience, affordability, and service provided by the stadium and our staff. Our ability to host multiple ceremonies on the same day, in a climate controlled environment, is very appealing to school administrators and we continue to receive inquires from other school districts for future years”, Stated Peter C.
