Yesterday was the biggest day of thousands of NYU students' lives as they graduated from their respective colleges and schools, but guess what—even that isn't enough to let them sit in the seats near the field at Yankee Stadium! With Washington Square Park's renovation forcing the school to relocate its school-wide graduation ceremonies to the Bronx for a spell, the Yankees prohibited NYU from filling the premium seats with students.

In the annual affair that provides 6,000 young New Yorkers with their "only time I've ever been to the Bronx" story, NYU held its commencement ceremonies at Yankee Stadium this afternoon. After some hype that there would be a repeat streaking performance (of both last year's graduation and last night's Met game), Will Lopez will get to brag to his bros tonight that no one had the guts to do it this year.

Apparently when you run onto Yankee Stadium's field during NYU graduation exercises, you also get banned from other graduation events. William Lopez, super recent NYU film school graduate, told the Daily News he couldn't attend the "salute" to NYU film students but was still proud of his antics, "It was the best moment of my life." Well, that's what the pricey tuition is for!

Because Washington Square Park is undergoing renovations, NYU had to move its school-wide graduation ceremony to Yankee Stadium this year. And while there, one graduate made a splash or, rather, a diving tumble, when he ran onto the field without his pants, only to be tackled by security.
