The Commander headed to Saturday’s Army-Navy football game at the U.S. Military Academy’s homefield in West Point, New York, which will mark the first time the storied rivalry will be held at an academy’s field since 1943. Saturday’s encounter will be the 121st game between the two service academies.
The game generally takes place at a neutral field. It had been scheduled to be played at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, but limits on the size of the crowd due to the COVID-19 pandemic would have prevented all midshipmen and cadets from attending. Students from both schools will be at Michie Stadium, but no fans, Military Times reported.
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe tweeted a photo Saturday, announcing he is “traveling with President Trump” to Saturday’s Army-Navy game:
