President Donald Trump to attend Army-Navy game Saturday

President Donald Trump will attend the Army-Navy game Saturday, the third time in a row and last time he will attend the game while in office.

Naval Academy athletic director Chet Gladchuk confirmed the president’s attendance during a Board of Visitors meeting Monday morning.

The Army-Navy game will be played in Highland Falls, home to the United States Military Academy. It is being played on a college campus for the sixth time, with the last time on the academy grounds in 1943. The game is being played at Army due to restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic. Outside of the president, the only fans in the stands will be the Brigade of Midshipmen and Army cadets.
