Guest Seating
Key changes for this year's graduation ceremony include the rotation of the stage and graduate seating, with a 90-degree adjustment positioning the stage in front of the scoreboard, thus opening seating on both the home and visitor sides of the stadium. Guests should communicate with graduates to determine their seating side.
Guests will not be able to sit or stand on the grassy knolls on either side of the stadium or along the fencing around the field. Controlled access measures will be in place to ensure safety and crowd management. Guests will be allowed to pass through the field house end zone side from the home side to the visitor side until 7:50 p.m., after which it will be closed for the duration of the graduation ceremony. No seating will be available in the end zone during the ceremony.
Guest Parking & Concessions
Ample parking will be available on both sides of the stadium, please park on the side of the stadium corresponding to your seating area. Transportation assistance will be available for those with mobility impairments, providing support from the gate entrances to the seating ramps. No outside food or drinks will be allowed into the stadium, each side will have water-only concessions available, which will accept cash only.
Graduation Livestreaming
All graduation ceremonies will be live streamed on the Victoria ISD YouTube channel, allowing remote participation for friends and family members who cannot attend in person.
