Parking itself is fine, but there's always heavy traffic on the campus loop road, so leave extra time.

Even having it at UMBC it’s a small amount of tickets.

Blair is 5, which is 1 less than last year at College Park.

Each student walks across the stage.

There is handicapped seating in the stands (not on the floor) and they have dedicated people to help the elderly/handicapped. It's actually very easy/convenient.

Parking is fine, but the ring road gets congested. Unless your ceremony is in the AM, plan to be there early to sit in that traffic.

All sightlines are good. Acoustics are good.

Overall, UMBC is a nice place to have graduation!

It’s unkind to those with health and other issues, including lack of transportation. It should be with our county or they provide transportation.

Neither College Park nor DAR Constitution Hall were within the county either.

Then have graduation at the school or nearby or they pay. I could not ride a bus, so no.

You can at least take public transportation. Purple line will eventually work to college park.

More cars than that.

Maybe if College Park and DAR didn't charge the county like 3x what UMBC is charging then we wouldn't have to make the switch. With all the budget talks going on, do we really want to be spending over a quarter of a million just to host graduations?
