Game History
Pitting the United States Military Academy (ARMY) at West Point, New York against the United States Naval Academy (NAVY) at Annapolis, Maryland, the Army/Navy football game has been played since 1890 and it is a deeply ingrained rivalry that one can see upon any visit to West Point or Annapolis. It is traditionally the last game of the season for both teams and homage is paid to each team at the end of the game to remind themselves, and fans, that each team must fight together overseas. Philadelphia was picked as a neutral playing field in 1899, and has hosted the Army Navy game more than any other city since. Navy will be home this year (west side)!
