Siena College President Chris Gibson is calling on New York state to revise its rules for in-person graduation ceremonies. The private college in Loudonville plans to hold commencement at the Times Union Center in Albany May 30th with the arena’s capacity capped at 10 percent. But if it was a sporting event, the downtown venue would be allowed to fill 25 percent of its seats. WAMC s Jim Levulis spoke with Gibson, a former Capital Region Republican Congressman, about the college’s plans.
Gibson: We plan in-person commencement. In fact, we re going to have in-person weekend of festivities. And that includes Sunday, May 30 commencement.

Albany to Limit Fan Attendance for Empire Games
Many people in the Capital Region - myself included - can t wait for the Empire to make their return to Albany first time since their 2019 Arena Bowl Championship. And while it may not be quite as loud as we remember it, it s not because of a lack of fan support for the indoor football league we ve grown to love.
