The switch means students will be limited to six tickets per graduating senior.
“We’ve always liked this venue because it is really well-situated for hosting a graduation,” said district secondary director Marty Lang on a tour through the Alaska Airlines Center on Monday. “The limitation of the seats probably would have kept us at the Sullivan Arena had we not been forced to look for a different option.”
The district toured the Alaska Airlines Center in 2014 but opted not to use it for graduation because spectator numbers would be capped, he said.In 2020 the district did not have any large ceremonies and instead had drive-by graduations, while in 2021, the district held outdoor ceremonies at local high school sports fields.But even last year, seating was limited and varied from school to school. And it was labor-intensive moving equipment, while the weather was an X-factor, Lang said.
He said a challenge of the space is that while it can seat 5,000 people, the floor seats can’t be used due to space needed for the students, orchestra, faculty and stage. The reduces the arena’s capacity. Another area will be blocked off since the view will be obscured. All told, seating will be reduced to 2,200.Morgan Krakow is a general assignment reporter for the Anchorage Daily News.
