As a Navy guy, I see this game as something for the whole nation. What would the rant say about this game moving from iconic location to iconic location from year to year. After traveling to Lambeau, it made me think about this game imoving to different locations. My short list would be Lambeau, the Rose Bowl, Jerry's World, and,,,of course -Tiger Stadium. The Big Bouse, Husky Stadium, Arrowhead, Happy Valley, The Shoe and the Superdome are also no brainers. Thoughts of the rant...

I think that would be really cool. If I were a dad (still a couple years away lol) and had any sons or daughters, this would be a game I would want to take my kids to see. Would be awesome if it was nearby!

I had this same thought earlier. They have played it in a few different locations. This year it should be in Hawaii. Move it to different regions. New York, SanDiego, Atlanta, Houston or Dallas.

I do really like that idea. It is truly America's game. It represents all those brave Americans who put their lives on the line to defend we, the people.

Play it at different bases or always nearby bases and fill the stands with soldiers and seamen......

It's being played at M&T bank stadium in Baltimore today. There was no local advertising for tickets because it was sold out immediately.

I like it.

Sounds good to me. Especially since they'd have a following anywhere in the country. I think they actually did play at the rose bowl a few times back in the day.

I like keeping it in the region where the schools are based. A lot of those cadets and midshipman wouldn't be able to get to some of those more far away destinations and this is for them.

8 years enlisted active duty...academy graduates are my least favorite officers behind the ROTC and prior enlisted officers
I was never allured by rooting for these teams as a result

Federal OCS grad here. I root for Army because they are Army and I respect the hell out of all 3 teams because these young men and women are committed to serving
Also, seeing them play in Tiger Stadium or the Super Dome would be awesome

I attended the Army/Navy game in Washington DC a few years ago. Nice experience. One thing to consider is logistics for cadets to be there. The game very much involves them. They bus up from the academies on game day and march onto the field in formation before it starts.
A place like San Diego with a heavy Naval presence might work.

I bet you were a real pleasure to serve with.

No!

For my experience it was the academy grads, OCS grads that didn't step out their lanes, then rotc

Most of the OCS grads are prior enlisted so I would think some of them might have a hard time adjusting to the Lane change.
