In addition to athletic events, Hanner Fieldhouse also is home to the university's Fall Commencement ceremonies, has hosted a Rolling Stones concert on April 5, 1965 If it was built in 1969, how did it host the Stones in 1965?[citation needed] and featured an election rally by then current president George W. Bush in 2006. In 2007, the university held three separate ceremonies at the facility to accommodate the university's growing number of graduates.
