Myself and a few buddies are going this year to check it off the bucket list. It works out perfect because another good buddy graduated from the Naval Academy and has tickets every year so we will be joining him. The game is in Baltimore. We are flying into Baltimore Thursday night and back to NOLA Sunday night.
Any must see or must does while in the Baltimore and surrounding area?

Babe Ruth's birth house. It's like a museum now and it's pretty freaking awesome!! I can't remember how much the tickets are, but it's DEFINATELY worth it

Federal Hill
Fells Point
Canton
All great bar scenes with tons of young people and hot women everywhere.
You can also Harbor East which is more upscale with nicer restaurants etc. but the better nightlife is in the three places I mentioned above.
they also just built a huge casino directly next to M&T Bank Stadium that is really nice and serves drinks around the clock.
The inner harbor is nice also but it's better in the summer obviously.
ETA: and the Babe Ruth museum as someone mentioned above is definitely worth checking out.

The first Army-Navy game I attended was back in 1948. I was 17 years old and I lived in Pittsburgh. I traveled to Philadelphia via train and saw a great game. Army was undefeated and heavily favored, yet somehow Navy ended up in a 21-21 tie.
In 1950, the Cadets were No. 1 in the country and the Midshipmen had a very weak team. In a surprise, the Navy prevailed, 14-2, costing Army a shot at the national championship.
The Army-Navy game has featured five Heisman Trophy winners: Davis, Blanchard, Pete Dawkins, Joe Bellino and Roger Staubach.
In the 1963 game, Navy and Staubach won 21-15. There was controversy because Army failed to get off a fourth down play and the Cadets screamed that they were cheated.
In other words, what goes around, comes around.
In 2000, the game was played in Baltimore and it was a big success. Army is reluctant to make this a regular site since this seemed to favor Navy. Look for this rivalry to be played in the Meadowlands, Philadelphia and Baltimore on a rotating basis in the future. I personally feel that every 10 years, they should take it on the road and let the country see the future Halseys and MacArthurs by playing at Orlando, Los Angeles, etc.
Just seeing this game once is enough to hook you on the Black Knights of the Hudson and the Midshipmen of Annapolis. It is something special in college athletics. It's not a game to affect the BCS…it is much more than that.

I've been 2x in Philly...A group of us from LA/BR area participate in the tailgate for the troops...cook jambalaya, gumbo, etc.
My close friend is a graduate and former professor at West Point...the game is kinda boring but the pre game festivities are pretty cool...flyovers etc.
We are actually having a meeting tomorrow nite to discuss this years trip and plans...
and believe it or not, there are good looking females that attend this event!

Just watch out for the ghettos in Baltimore! I've been to West Point it's a great campus; would like to go to that game one day.

Yes, incredible experience. Go tour the Naval Academy if you have time.
The coolest part was when Navy ran out the tunnel the blue Angels did a fly over and when Army ran out about 8 Apaches did a fly over. George Bush, John McCain, Bill Clinton, Colin Powell and several other political figures were there also. Bush flew by in Air Force One before he got there too. Overall badass experience.

Went to it in Philly a few years ago. Best college football game there is.
Ive also been to OSU/Michigan and Auburn/Alabama. neither of those compare to army/navy as for as the rivalry/tradition/pagentry/intensity.
