I agree there is no money and you wouldn't do it just to do it. At the point when the building needs a major renovation, and who knows when that might be, it should be considered based on what is happening at the time.

Really the only way to get around it would be having more sparsed out ceremonies over the course of graduation weekend. Then you're probably getting into even ceremonies or even Sundays.

By no means am I the expert on how many seats are used for commencement in recent years, and the capacity that's truly needed. However, these images show a fair number of empty seats up high. The images are from 2014, 2015.

Keep in mind there isn't a single commencement ceremony for undergrads, so attendance can be a little deceiving. Because of the large number of undergrads graduating, there's a graduation ceremony in the morning for approximately half the students (by way of college or dept. they are in) and another graduation ceremony in the afternoon for the remaining half. My daughter graduated in 2014 and I was shocked at how many people were there, and that was for only half of of the total number of graduates. It really was quite impressive and the Convo was beautiful.
