Break out the balloons and Magic Markers and start the angry scribbling, NYU seniors, because for the second straight year the renovation of Washington Square Park will force Big Purple to break from tradition and hold its graduation ceremony at Yankee Stadium (at least it's new one this time around).

The Washington Square Park Blog hears tentative whispers of a spring completion for the first phase of the controversial redesign, and last week the Landmarks Preservation Commission was presented the plan for the second stage.
