Baltimore was a big winner the last time the Army-Navy football contract was awarded. Charm City received two games during the eight-year cycle that was announced in June, 2009.
A big part of Baltimore's pitch, which was spearheaded by the Baltimore Ravens and the Maryland Stadium Authority, was to have the Army-Navy game coincide with the War of 1812 anniversary.
Baltimore will no doubt attempt to land the Army-Navy game again for the upcoming cycle, which will likely be announced next spring. Naval Academy athletic director Chet Gladchuk and Army West Point counterpart Boo Corrigan have not determined how many years worth of games will be awarded as part of the next set of contracts.
