Protesters in solidarity with Mizzou and Yale students interrupt Northwestern athletic facility groundbreaking ceremony

Northwestern University's ceremony for the groundbreaking of its new $260-million-dollar athletic facility was interrupted by students protesting recent events at the University of Missouri.

"We care all about you, from NU to Mizzou," students chanted as they overran the ceremony and forced its brief postponement.

Protesters chanted "you can't stop the revolution" as they exited the building. They then formed a circle outside.

Inside, Northwestern president Morton "Morty" Schapiro addressed the protests, and the ceremony then continued.

More to come shortly...

Here are some more pictures from the ceremony's interruption:

Crazy scene here at NU.
