WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army Athletic Association and the New York Yankees announced today that the Nov. 21 contest against Rutgers will be played at Michie Stadium. The contest was originally scheduled to be played at Yankee Stadium. “We are grateful for the tremendous partnership we have with the New York Yankees,” Army Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Boo Corrigan said.
“We discussed it and it makes the most sense to play the game at Michie to allow our fans plenty of time to plan accordingly for this game.” Army will now host six games at historic Michie Stadium during the 2015 season. The Black Knights will open the campaign on Sept. 4 against Fordham, welcome Wake Forest on Sept. 19 and host Duke (Oct. 10) and Bucknell (Oct. 17) on back-to-back weekends. Tulane will play at Army on Nov. 14 as well.
“Our fans, cadets, athletes and staff had a great experience at Yankee Stadium last year,” said Corrigan referring to Army’s 35-21 win over Connecticut on Nov. 8. “We will continue our partnership with the New York Yankees and look forward to our next event.” Season tickets for the 2015 football season will go on sale in early February at www.goARMYsports.com, by calling 1-877-TIX-ARMY or in person at the Michie Stadium Ticket Office.
