Graduation weekend could make for traffic jams at UW sports venues

For those attending UW-Madison commencement ceremonies at the Kohl Center or Camp Randall Stadium this weekend, think of it as going to a basketball or football game, when it comes to parking.

The streets and parking lots around the two sports venues will be very busy Friday and Saturday, with the Kohl Center hosting the doctoral and professional student graduation Friday at 5:30 p.m. and Camp Randall hosting commencement for bachelor's, master's and law degree recipients at noon on Saturday.

Throw in numerous other activities, such as parties and alumni gatherings for the multitude of schools, colleges and departments that make up the university, and you have the possibility of traffic tie-ups all over the campus and Downtown.
