The current forecast reports a sunny day and a high of 92 degrees. There is no shade available in our stadium. We strongly recommend patrons wear light colors, sunscreen, hats, and properly hydrate. We anticipate the ceremony going from 9am-11am. Also, the stadium bleachers do not have backrests. You may wish to have your family sit on a pad or blanket as long as it does not encroach upon others. This is a happy event, and we wish for all families to have a positive celebration. Please treat all others at the event with kindness, consideration, and respect.
