[quote=Anonymous]We had our graduation there yesterday. As others said, the sound system is a hot mess but they use the Jumbotron so that helps with closed captioning.

Our school had large prime sections of seating reserved that later seemed to fill in so not sure if all the guests filled up or if they started letting others sit there.

GMU sells concessions. They let you bring in an empty water bottle but I didn't see any drinking fountains to fill up (admittedly didn't walk around too much to find one).

Our school almost filled the entire arena so it's very possible latecomers will be sitting up at the very top.

Our stage was on the east end and if you want to see your kid's front/face as they walk to get their diploma, sit on the north side as they walk from right to left across the stage. But, someone else said chantilly did theirs differently so your kid should know from rehearsals if there will be two lines or one.

Definitely pick a spot outside the arena and have your kid meet you there. It's one hot mess afterwards.

Also, while they asked people to not make excessive noise, no one respected that and it was impossible to hear names being read.

Having said all that, very appreciative that Mason hosts so that no ticket limit is imposed. [/quote]
