And let's not forget the rituals that accompany the game day; from the iconic Navy mascot, Bill the Goat, to the forever-popular Notre Dame fight song, there’s a rich culture surrounding the event. As both teams look to assert their dominance, the fanfare of the event also serves to honor the service members that Navy represents, perfectly marrying college football with patriotic pride.

Fans preparing for the game should mark their calendars for October 26, 2024, as kick-off promises not just a clash of the titans on the field but an entire festival atmosphere off of it. With the stage set at one of the nation's largest venues, expect an unforgettable experience for those lucky enough to attend.
