Overview:   USMA (United States Military Academy) or Army sits right on the Hudson river about two hours north of New York city.  Game was a noon kickoff, we got there early.  Took a tour the day before the game and also had dinner at the CIA the night before the game.  CIA was a lot of fun, it's about an hour north of the USMA, also on the Hudson. Overall just a beautiful area.  

West Point is an American treasure, full of military history. Most of the Civil War battles were fought by commanders who were classmates a few years earlier. 

Game Experience:    No frills as one would expect. At the beginning of each half they drop in paratroopers from a helicopter.  We had great seats, game was competitive. Army goes for it on 4th down a lot. 

Stadium:   Cool stadium in the middle of campus.  On the small side but well designed. Entire campus is one giant athletic facility, which makes sense when you learn every cadet is required to play a sport (either club, varsity or intramural)
