Somebody call in the Fighting 103? Right on. My favorite shirt from back in the day. Had it a good bit, obviously.

Not in a long time.  I believe it's been at the Meadowlands (or now MetLife in NJ), but looks like they are moving the game to different neutral sites in the Northeast.

As a son of a Marine who grew up on on Marine Corps/Naval bases my whole childhood, I always pull for Navy.

It has been played 3 times  at Annapolis and 4 times at West Point, with the most recent being at Michie Stadium in 2020, due to covid.  It is generally held at a n NFL venue on the Atlantic seaboard, with a few exceptions like Chicago and the Rose Bowl.

I'll watch it.

Not that I can remember. It seems like they always played it at a NFL stadium. I distinctly remember the game on Dec 7, 1991 on the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor at Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia. So at least since then.

Yep.  It’s been at Lincoln, Foxborough, FedEx, etc.  Will be in Baltimore next year and then MetLife in ‘26 and back to Philly in ‘27.  It has been played in Chicago and once at the Rose Bowl in the past.  

 

I'm guessing stadiums too small for all the hoopla. 

 

eidt: google AI tells me 

"The Army-Navy football game is almost always played at a neutral site because neither the Army nor Navy's home stadiums are large enough to accommodate the massive crowds that attend this historic rivalry game; neither academy has an on-campus stadium with the capacity to handle the large number of fans, cadets, and former service members who want to watch the matchup."

Always try and watch it. It is THE college football event on my bucket list.

And when does Space Force get a team?

CDC should offer to host it at DKR and split at the 50 to keep seats even. I mean they'll say no but it would be awesome.

4000 students from each academy is the obstacle there.  The Rose Bowl game had Cadets and Middies staying with sponsor families; but there's still a huge reason why the game doesn't go around the country-  even though that'd be freaking cool!

MetLife to be closer to WP, Baltimore for Annapolis and Philly as a somewhat central/neutral site. JMO. 
 

Would love to attend once but too much of a pussy these days to sit in that kind of weather for a football game.

There's a couple different answers there.  It would be our country's military future in their hands...😁

It belongs on the Atlantic seaboard, IMHO.  Maintain the pageantry and traditions.  Keep it unique.  Not sure I'd ever want to see it in something as stale and over commercialized as Jerry World.  I like it in the general proximity of the academies.  Gillette was weird last year for the Midshipmen.  That's a long freaking haul.  Keep in mind, they have their academic obligations immediately before/ after the game, as well.  Army-Navy Game goes right into Finals.

Uhhh.... have you ever actually been in DKR?  North of the 50 has thousands more seats than south of the 50.

Yes, I basically meant splitting along a yard line. The standard longitudinal split obviously won't work because of the upper deck differences.

And I actually played Army with one of these in the mid-1950s. 
Dad brought it back from France after VE Day. It is a DEWAT (Deactivated War Trophy).
It has resided in the vault at the Camp Mabry Military Museum for the past 25 years.

One thing that is very cool at the game is the crowd is seemingly exactly 50-50 between the schools, but everyone is interspersed.  Yeah, each team has their sidelines, but the crowd is all over the place.  You don't get an advantage at one end or another.  When it's loud, it's loud everywhere and for everybody.

Checkerboard pattern obviously. But- checkered by section or every other seat?

Looking at Wiki, 

 

They've had 124 meetings overall

Just 7 have been played on the West Point or Annapolis campuses - the first 4, twice during WWII and once in 2020 during Covid.

90 in Philly

16 in NYC/NJ

6 in Baltimore

1 each in Chicago, Pasadena, Princeton NJ, Landover, MD, and Foxborough, MA

If you ever get the chance, GO TO THIS GAME. Have seen it twice in Philly and it's just an incredible experience (and those teams the years I went sucked).

Every other row in every other section. 

One fanbase gets even-numbered rows in odd-numbered sections, and the other vise-versa.

Go ARMY, beat navy!!! 364 days a year they are “brothers in arms” and have my total respect/appreciation, but for 60 minutes of game time each year, they are despised and the enemy/foe!!!

Hook’em!!!

Go Air Force! Wait, what?

Beat Navy 📣

a tease on the night before...

 

Both teams stupid competitive this year. Should be fun AF 

A little annoyed that Gameday isn't at Army/Navy especially given how good Army is this year. I get it but it should be a celebration of the game regardless of what network is showing it.

For my dearly departed father who I owe my UT existence to both because he obviously helped create me but also because the GI bill he earned by serving 4 years in the Navy help him go to UT, go Navy! Beat Army!

It should be obligatory for game day to be at the Army Navy game every year. 

GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!
