It's Military Appreciation Wednesday!! (Love ya @major devil dawg)
With the Army vs Navy game this weekend, here's a little history on this century old rivalry....
"The 125th edition of the annual Army-Navy game takes place Saturday at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md., marking the official end of the 2024 college football regular season. And to make this matchup even more exciting, both programs head into the rivalry game Saturday looking to wrap up their best regular seasons in a few years.
The first interservice rivalry meeting occurred on Nov. 29, 1890, a game won by the Midshipmen 24–0. There has been an Army-Navy game every year since 1930 at 19 different venues all across the country, ranging from Philadelphia to New York City to Pasadena, California.
The now-demolished John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia held the most Army-Navy games with 41 from 1936 to '79. Franklin Field, the oldest operating college football stadium in the country and former home to the Philadelphia Eagles, is second with 18, followed by Veterans Stadium (17) and Lincoln Financial Field (14). In 2023, the Army-Navy game was hosted at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., for the first time.
The Army-Navy game has been exclusively televised by CBS each year since 1996, and the network will continue to do so through at least the 2038 season."
