The NYC Bd. of Ed. is quasi-autonomous, hard to figure out who has authority over it, but NYC ordinances can't direct them to do anything. But the city does have jurisdiction over the city, so being on school grounds doesn't get you out of the municipal jurisdiction.
But so what? What if the game is being contested between private schools? It's still in NYC, and AIUI the ordinance did not exempt private schools.
