Graduation Ceremonies at Lincoln Financial Field

Figured this deserves to be posted. I got the e-mail yesterday on it. Basically having separate ceremonies for Class of 2020 and 2021, on the same day. I give the school a lot of credit for coming up with something like this. Kids who've had their Sr. years incredibly altered, and for the class of 2021- really their last 3 semesters of college, will at least get to have a cool graduation experience, in an NFL stadium, on the field of a team a lot of them are fans of no less (which I obviously don't approve of, but nonetheless).

A good job out of the school! Hope for good weather that day.

Nice job by the University. Splitting it up is a smart move as well. Not only for the graduates and parents, but for the local restaurants as well...if they are open.

2 of my kids graduated from Ohio State, and the graduation was held at the Horseshoe. No graduate names were announced...just those receiving their PhDs. But it was a cool experience.

That's how my brother's was from Boston University. It was at their soccer field (which for any sports history people out there, is the same stadium that used to be Braves Field when the Braves were in Boston). Then there were separate smaller ceremonies indoors for different majors/programs where individual names were called.

Wonderful out of the box thinking and implementation, congratulations and best wishes to both years graduating at the Lincoln. How memorable!

Waiting for someone to suggest ... that our football program is going to be restored next year!

Hope Jeffrey Lurie and Howie don't require family members of the graduates who attend these Commencements at the Linc to purchase individual PSLs.
