Attending the Game
•    The doors to Alumni Hall will open at 10 a.m.
•    Only those vehicles driven by someone with a Department of Defense (DoD)-approved identification card will be allowed onto the USNA.
•    Fans without DoD approved vehicle access to the USNA must park outside of The Yard.  The simplest way to do this is to take the free shuttle bus, which starts running at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday and ends at 4:30 p.m.
•    The shuttle bus will depart from and return to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium (550 Taylor Avenue, Annapolis, Md., 21401).  Enter the blue / west parking lot through gate 5 off of Taylor Avenue.  There is a $10 per vehicle parking fee.  The free fan shuttle bus will leave from and return to the Blue Angel jet.  
•    Whether a visitor rides the shuttle bus or walks through one of the USNA gates, everyone ages 18 and over must have a valid picture ID (i.e.: State issued driver's license with REAL ID or a U.S. government issued passport). Visitors ages 17 and younger who do not have a valid picture ID must be accompanied by an adult. Foreign passports are not permitted for general access.

A Look Back
•    Aidan Kehoe scored a career-high 29 points as Navy led for the last 32 minutes of an 85-68 victory over Holy Cross Wednesday night in Alumni Hall.
•    Navy held several 10-point leads in the first half before taking a 42-34 lead at the break.
•    The Mids extended the lead to 53-40 early in the second half, but saw it dip to as few as four points at 59-55.  The Crusaders had two opportunities to cut into the deficit, but couldn't.  The teams then traded several baskets (61-57, 64-60, 66-62). 
•    A three-point basket by Jinwoo Kim sparked a 7-1 run that boosted the cushion to 73-63 with four minutes left.
•    Navy was 21-27 from the foul line in the win, while Holy Cross was 10-12.
•    The Mids tied a season low with just six turnovers and forced 13.  Navy held a 17-4 edge in points after turnovers.
•    Kehoe was 10-12 from the field and 9-12 from the foul line in scoring his 29 points.
•    Austin Benigni scored 25 and Kim added 18.

Army Preview
•    Army has posted an overall record of 8-12 this season and has tallied a 4-5 record in true road games.
•    The Black Knights won an 87-84 overtime game at Bucknell Wednesday to snap a five-game skid and raise their league record to 2-5.  This includes a 2-2 record in road games.

Series History
•    The two service academy programs first met on Feb. 21, 1920, in West Point.  The Mids emerged with a 24-18 victory in that inaugural game.
•    Navy leads the all-time series by a count of 87-56.  This includes a 48-25 lead in games played at Navy and a 26-13 edge in games played in Alumni Hall.
•    The teams have been fellow members of the Patriot League since the 1991-92 season.  Navy holds a 45-23 lead in league regular season games played by the teams.  The Mids also are in front of the Black Knights, 22-13, in league games played at Navy, all of which have been played in Alumni Hall.

Trophy Game to be Played at Army
•    The Alumni Trophy was first presented to the winner of the Star Game in 1984.  It consists of two 15-inch silver plates, one with the U.S. Military Academy seal and one with the U.S. Naval Academy seal.  
•    It was a gift of Capt. Victor Delano, USN (Ret.), a 1941 alumnus of the Naval Academy.
•    Due to natural wear and tear of the casing over the years, the trophy was refurbished during the 2022 summer.
•    The 2026 Trophy game will be played Feb. 21 at Army.  Navy is in possession of the trophy thanks to its 61-54 victory in Annapolis in 2025.

•    Navy has faced Army in more seasons than any other opponent.
•    The 103 years of at least one Army-Navy game being played ranks second for the most seasons in which a Patriot League series has been contested
•    Army and Navy are meeting this year for the 94th season in a row. That is the longest uninterrupted series among Patriot League programs.

Series by U.S. President
•    19 of the last 20 U.S. Presidents have been in office during an Army-Navy game.
•    The only President since the series began to not be in office during an Army-Navy game was Herbert Hoover (1929-33).  He began March 4, 1933, as the President, but Franklin Delano Roosevelt was sworn into office in ceremonies that began at noon prior to the start of that day's 2:30 p.m. Army-Navy game.
