Weather Details: We recommend that you have flexible weekend plans so that you can manage any changes due to weather. The weather forecast will be reviewed in the days prior to the event and the start time may be shifted to any appropriate time slot on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday (plan b). Should the weather appear threatening for the entire weekend, plans for smaller indoor sessions by alpha will be shared (plan c).

Visit Bentonville offers free assistance with large reservations, group lodging, etc. for families planning celebrations.

Accessibility: Accessible seating at both graduations will be on the track. ADA guests may have one person accompany and sit with them on that track. ADA accessible parking will be in the lots west of each stadium entrance. Golf carts will be available from the parking lot to the track for those with limited mobility.
