A separate thread is asking predictions; however, as I scanned them, I wondered how many AGSers have ever attended this spectacle. It is something to see. Tickets used to be horribly difficult to get, but I got to see it in 1969 at old JFK Stadium in Philadelphia as a guest of the, now defunct, Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, as one of the Greater Philadelphia High School 'scholar-athletes'. Since it was free, I got to sit in the north endzone, which, if were ever in JFK was horrendous to view anything unless the teams were on the north goal line. However, the atmosphere was electric even though the football was pretty bad. Navy romped.

Would love to. Been to Navy and love the pomp and circumstance there, I can only imagine that times 100.

I've gone a number of times. A law partner of mine is a West Point grad. I baby sat his season tickets for a few years while he was serving our country abroad.
Been to the Army pre-game VIP shindig. Met Pete Dawkins, Glenn Davis, Doc Blanchard.
Pretty darn cool.

Went one time. At the Vet. Sat in the 700 level. I think I was 12 or 13. I have no idea who won, I just remember how cool it was seeing all the Cadets and Midshipmen/women in the stands and the concourses.

I would like to someday.
Pulling for Navy, my cousin went to the Academy, and I work with a former teacher.
