Don't forget: More traffic this weekend

Heads up, Fayetteville — University of Arkansas commencement this weekend will mean heavier traffic tomorrow and Saturday.

• And it will be next to impossible to eat brunch out on Sunday with all those extra people in town on Mother's Day.

The big picture: UA expects to celebrate more than 6,500 graduates during a full slate of spring commencement ceremonies at Bud Walton and Barnhill arenas.

• U.S. Rep. Steve Womack is scheduled to speak at the commencement ceremony tomorrow at 8:30am in Bud Walton Arena.

What to know: Doors open 45 minutes before each ceremony, and the university is urging guests to arrive early. Free parking will be available in unrestricted campus lots.

If you're attending:

• Download a map of parking locations.
• See the full commencement schedule.
• Remember the clear bag and prohibited items policies.

Yes, but: If your third cousin's best friend's aunt is graduating and you don't want to fight the crowds, you can always stream the ceremonies.
