Footwear Policy for ceremonies held in Richard Wackar Stadium:
As we prepare for this year’s commencement ceremony, we are excited to celebrate your accomplishments in a memorable and festive environment. To ensure the event runs smoothly and to protect the integrity of our football field turf, we would like to share an important policy regarding footwear.
To safeguard the turf on the football field, sharp footwear, such as stiletto heels and shoes with pointed or spiked soles, is strictly prohibited. This type of footwear can cause significant damage to the turf and create unsafe conditions for others.
Approved Footwear Includes:
- Flat-soled shoes (e.g., sneakers, loafers, wedged platforms or heels or sandals).
- Comfortable formal shoes that do not have sharp or narrow points.
Additional Accommodations:
For guests who wish to wear restricted footwear for photos or other purposes, designated non-turf areas will be available. Please feel free to bring an additional pair of approved shoes for walking on the field.
Reminders and Enforcement:
- Event staff will monitor entry points to ensure compliance.
- Non-compliant guests will be asked to change footwear or remain in designated areas, like bleacher seating.
- Please note: graduates will be required to comply with the approved footwear policy to cross the stage.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. If you have any questions or need special accommodations, please contact the Office of University Events at commencement@rowan.edu.
