astrophysicsmom, I gave my salutatorian speech in the Charlotte Arena in 2005 and assisted with prior graduations as a band member and junior marshal. The large size definitely wasn't that bad, and there was lots of room for parking. My sophomore year they had graduation at Cricket Arena, and the traffic congestion made it a nightmare. :rolleyes: They're having graduations at the new (and smaller) Bobcat Arena this year, I think.</p>
