“9,000 stories each as unique as the young person that tells it. Stories of challenge. Stories of love. Today, the 124th Army-Navy Game honors their story,” CBS captioned the video.
The video details how 9,000 cadets walk the campuses of Army and Navy each season. All 9,000 of these students have unique stories and an interesting reason for why they ended up at one of these schools.
On the football field, these teams have traditionally played low-scoring, tight games. The Navy Midshipmen have won 62 times, the Army Black Knights have won 54 times, and the teams have tied 7 times.
For the first time in history, the 2023 game will be played in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The game has mostly gone between being played in West Point, New York, Baltimore, Maryland, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The rivals will kick off at 3 p.m. ET.
