December 12, 20241 yr Author 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 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.

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.
December 12, 20241 yr 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." Edited December 12, 20241 yr by High Plains Drifter fuck google because fuck google that's why
December 12, 20241 yr GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY! Always try and watch it. It is THE college football event on my bucket list. And when does Space Force get a team? Edited December 12, 20241 yr by InkaUtexas
December 12, 20241 yr 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.
December 12, 20241 yr Author 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!
December 12, 20241 yr 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. Edited December 12, 20241 yr by Underdog

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. GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

Yes, I basically meant splitting along a yard line. The standard longitudinal split obviously won't work because of the upper deck differences.
December 12, 20241 yr 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.
December 12, 20241 yr Author 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.

December 12, 20241 yr 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
December 12, 20241 yr 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).
December 12, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Pato del Muerto said: Checkerboard pattern obviously. But- checkered by section or every other seat? Every other row in every other section. One fanbase gets even-numbered rows in odd-numbered sections, and the other vise-versa.
December 13, 20241 yr 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!!!

December 14, 20241 yr Author Morning read with your gameday breakfast/ cup of Joe... https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42879498/inside-army-navy-day-life-students-service-academies
December 14, 20241 yr 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!
December 14, 20241 yr It should be obligatory for game day to be at the Army Navy game every year. GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!
