Obama's back in the Valley this week for ASU's graduation, which has turned from a commencement ceremony into a Super Bowl halftime show.
The commencement is now a five-hour long graduation spectacular. The show will include a rock performance by legend Alice Cooper, a gospel choir, mariachis and a marching band. Check out these ASU graduation stats:- Attendance is expected to top 70,000
- ASU has enlisted in the help of hundreds of public safety officials
- Entry to the Sundevil stadium begins at 2:30 p.m., with the event beginning at 4:45 and ending with a firework display at 9 p.m.
- 90-minute waits in the heat are expected for entry
Don't get us wrong, graduation is important and a huge moment in any collegiate life, but this is over-the-top.
