From the Naval Academy Alumni Association:
We will offer bus transportation and an Alumni Association sponsored tailgate this year. Please read each description carefully and register for the option that is right for you. Due to the logistics of this year’s tailgate, we kindly ask that if you plan to ride the bus AND attend the tailgate, that you register using the BUS AND TAILGATE option. Please do not purchase/register separately if you plan to do both.
The Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation are adhering to DoD, state and local government policies when conducting indoor events. As a result of DoD directives, proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test result for all guests 12+ will be required for both the Alumni Association’s Army Navy Tailgate and the Bus Transportation. Please bring your official vaccination card, a photo of your vaccination card or a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of the events, to show upon arrival.
