Itâs that other most wonderful time of the year when the Navy Midshipmen face off against their archrival Army Black Knights in the annual gridiron contest that has come to be known as Americaâs Game.
Being 2020, COVID-19 is also a âplayerâ this year, forcing the game to move from its traditional neutral Philadelphia venue to West Pointâs Michie Stadium in New York. Over the 120 years the rivals have competed, about three-quarters of those games were played in Philadelphia, which is roughly equidistant between West Point and Annapolis. However, due to attendance limits placed on outdoor events in the state of Pennsylvania that would not allow the entire Brigade of Midshipmen or Corps of Cadets to attend, the game was relocated to federal government property, which is not subject to state or local restrictions.
