As is tradition, Trump will sit with the Army side for the first half and with the Midshipmen side for the second half. Theodore Roosevelt in 1901 was first to attend the game and used the switching of sides to prevent showing allegiance. President Barack Obama last attended the game in 2011
This is the 117th meeting between the two, with Navy leading the all-time series 60-49-7 and have won the last 14 contests.
