Saw game in 2010 in Philly, one of the coolest CFB trips I've ever done, nothing like seeing the Navy Seals and Army Rangers parachuting into the stadium....it as a truly fantastic event!

No.

Both academies are in the Northeast. Play the game in Baltimore, DC (FedEx), Philadelphia NYC (NJ) or Boston (Foxboro)

Yes it's kinda of America's game, but there's something just "right" about seeing this game played in cold weather in a large Northeast city.

Back in the 90s i went a bunch of years in a row and saw a few games at the old giants stadium and a few at the old vet in philly. Amazing football experiences, but not as cool as seeing a game at West Point and Annapolis.

The game needs to be played in the northeast to get the cadets and midshipmen there.

They played in the Rose Bowl in 1983, so it's not unheard of. I for one think there's nothing wrong with it as is. Nothing wrong with something out of the box once in a blue moon, but keep it on the east coast for the most part.

You must've been an officer plowing too many women. How much disability percentage you get for the clap?

And with the lack of ethics and sense of entitlement that West Point grads carry with them for their lifetime, they have no problem fricking an enlisted man's wife. They do it all the time. The "officer code of honor" is a joke with the Army. A PR-driven joke.

I was never in the military but my career has brought me in and around military officers over the years. Army officers who went to West Point are, by far, the biggest blowhards and most insecure of the service academy grads.

I've fired three West Point grad in my career (two retired Colonels and a Major) who were hired by others before they were assigned to work for me. I've never enjoyed having to let employees go, even when they deserved being cut. It was a pure joy to fire those three maggots.

Got it, so you have never served but are basing your entire opinion off of 3 dirtbags that worked for you...

I think traditions are what make CFB better than NFL. I would rather keep those traditions. But I also hate all the uniform changes and shite like that so I'm sure I'm in the minority

As one who is prior Navy I would absolutely love to more easily go to the game. But it's still better to keep it close to the service academies for the cadets' sake.

I just suggested Tiger Stadium as a possible site to play. Also, Louisiana is in America and as suggested, I feel this is America's game.

They aren't going to move these very far from the academies. Philly was considered neutral and the traditional city. Baltimore is more navy. I believe MetLife stadium is on the rotation as well which is close to army. It went to the rose bowl once in the 80s but the logistics were a nightmare.

I get what you're saying but this game isn't leaving the northeast. Mainly tradition but also for convenience.
