WestPointAOG.org | 800.BE A.GRAD 49 Army-Navy Weekend The entire Corps of Cadets typically attends the Army-Navy football game, with limited exceptions. The cadets will have the opportunity (depending on their proficiency status) to take a pass for the weekend. If they take a pass, they will travel to the game site at their own cost and arrange their own accommodations. A bus service is available for a fee and is very convenient as it leaves directly following the conclusion of a modified class day and returns toWest Point on Sunday. Cadets are required to participate in the March On at the stadium, reporting to the stadium at the designated time for accountability. Cadets who do not take a pass will be provided transportation on the “boomerang” bus. Those traveling on the “boomerang” will depart West Point very early on game day and depart the game site 90 minutes following the singing of the Alma Mater. Cadets do not need tickets to the game. Cadets are required to sit with the Corps for the entire game. Parents will oftenmake arrangements to connect with cadets at some point during a break for photos, etc. It is a fun weekend withmany other Army-Navy matchups; a spirit rally, debate, Patriot Games, and Pipes and Drums to name a few. If you plan to attend, it is best to start planning early as hotels book quickly and game tickets sell out. For more information on the Army-Navy game see page 60.
