Not in a long time.  I believe it's been at the Meadowlands (or now MetLife in NJ), but looks like they are moving the game to different neutral sites in the Northeast.

As a son of a Marine who grew up on on Marine Corps/Naval bases my whole childhood, I always pull for Navy.

I'll watch it.

Not that I can remember. It seems like they always played it at a NFL stadium. I distinctly remember the game on Dec 7, 1991 on the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor at Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia. So at least since then.

Yep.  It’s been at Lincoln, Foxborough, FedEx, etc.  Will be in Baltimore next year and then MetLife in ‘26 and back to Philly in ‘27.  It has been played in Chicago and once at the Rose Bowl in the past.

I'm guessing stadiums too small for all the hoopla. 

 

eidt: google AI tells me 

"The Army-Navy football game is almost always played at a neutral site because neither the Army nor Navy's home stadiums are large enough to accommodate the massive crowds that attend this historic rivalry game; neither academy has an on-campus stadium with the capacity to handle the large number of fans, cadets, and former service members who want to watch the matchup."

4000 students from each academy is the obstacle there.  The Rose Bowl game had Cadets and Middies staying with sponsor families; but there's still a huge reason why the game doesn't go around the country-  even though that'd be freaking cool!

How is DoD with logistics?  Decent?

There's a couple different answers there.  It would be our country's military future in their hands...😁

It belongs on the Atlantic seaboard, IMHO.  Maintain the pageantry and traditions.  Keep it unique.  Not sure I'd ever want to see it in something as stale and over commercialized as Jerry World.  I like it in the general proximity of the academies.  Gillette was weird last year for the Midshipmen.  That's a long freaking haul.  Keep in mind, they have their academic obligations immediately before/ after the game, as well.  Army-Navy Game goes right into Finals.

Uhhh.... have you ever actually been in DKR?  North of the 50 has thousands more seats than south of the 50.

 

GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

Yes, I basically meant splitting along a yard line. The standard longitudinal split obviously won't work because of the upper deck differences.

One thing that is very cool at the game is the crowd is seemingly exactly 50-50 between the schools, but everyone is interspersed.  Yeah, each team has their sidelines, but the crowd is all over the place.  You don't get an advantage at one end or another.  When it's loud, it's loud everywhere and for everybody.

Looking at Wiki, 

 

They've had 124 meetings overall

Just 7 have been played on the West Point or Annapolis campuses - the first 4, twice during WWII and once in 2020 during Covid.

90 in Philly

16 in NYC/NJ

6 in Baltimore

1 each in Chicago, Pasadena, Princeton NJ, Landover, MD, and Foxborough, MA

Nice. Also, I like your show, Miami Vice. Tell Tubbs to keep rocking the jheri curl

A little annoyed that Gameday isn't at Army/Navy especially given how good Army is this year. I get it but it should be a celebration of the game regardless of what network is showing it.

For my dearly departed father who I owe my UT existence to both because he obviously helped create me but also because the GI bill he earned by serving 4 years in the Navy help him go to UT, go Navy! Beat Army!
