The Army-Navy game is typically played in Philadelphia, but often switches up its venue. This year’s game is being played in Massachusetts to commemorate the anniversary of a few Massachusetts milestones, like the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party and the 225th anniversary of the USS Constitution’s first voyage.
One of the most historic games in college football, Navy leads the series all time 62-54-7. Since 2019, the teams have split games with Army winning in 2020 and 2022 and Navy winning in 2019 and 2021. The game always brings excitement, so it’s not surprise to see so many fans looking to secure a ticket.
