Parking and Seating

Convocation Center

The Convocation Center has permanent spaces designated for persons with disabilities. If you have a person that would like to be dropped off near the entrances, please let the parkers know as you enter the drive of the Convocation Center. They will then direct you.

The Convocation Center is an arena where all the seating (except for ADA) is accessed via at least one step. To aid in understanding the setup of this venue, please consult the West End Stage seating info.

The Convocation Center has ample seating space for those in wheelchairs. Special tickets are not required and seating is general admission. One family member will be able to sit next to the guest in a wheelchair, while the rest of the family will be able to sit in the rows just in front of this area. Guests will be responsible to bring any special equipment (wheelchair, walker, etc.) they may need.

Deaf or Hard of Hearing Guests or Graduates
