Martha Layne Collins High School Graduation

Shelby County High School Graduation

Parking and When to Arrive

Broadbent Arena is located in the Kentucky Exposition Center at 937 Phillips Lane, Louisville, Kentucky 40209. The Kentucky Exposition Center has more than 19,000 parking spaces. More information about parking prices and a parking map can be found on the Kentucky Exposition Center Parking and Directions website.

Doors will open one hour before the start of each ceremony. It is recommended that you arrive early as each ceremony program will begin promptly at its designated time, so it is strongly recommended that guests are seated no later than 30 minutes before each procession begins. Except for reserved seating for graduates, faculty, and governing boards, seating in Broadbent Arena will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each commencement ceremony is expected to last around an hour and a half.

Please plan to arrive early for the Commencement ceremony, as other events are also taking place at the Kentucky Expo Center. Allow plenty of time for gate access, parking, and walking to Broadbent Arean. Consider parking in Lots E or J. Please enter at the front entrance of Broadbent. The entrance will be marked. 

What NOT to Bring

Do not bring balloons, umbrellas, coolers, glass containers, weapons of any kind, outside food or beverages, artificial noise makers, or animals (except for service animals). Smoking is prohibited inside the facility.

Photography

To keep Graduation running smoothly, guests are not allowed to approach the stage to take photographs. Please stay in the seating area.
