The Army-Navy football game will be played in Philadelphia four times from 2018-2022, returning to its most frequent host city and, for now, leaving Baltimore behind.
The academies held a news conference Tuesday at Philadelphia's City Hall to announce the site of the 2018, '19, '20 and '22 Army-Navy games. The Cadets and Midshipmen will play at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles.
"The legacy of the City of Brotherly Love and the home of Army-Navy continues to be the benchmark for hosting America's game," Naval Academy athletic director Chet Gladchuk said in a statement. "This tradition in Philly is so well received and embraced by the city and community that it remains a highlight of the season for the teams, alumni, and fans."

Baltimore is so dangerous even the military is scared to be there!
Five years of millions in lost revenue. No problem, they'll just get it from the rest of us Marylanders.
Nice job Baltimorons! Can't keep your city calm and lose very easy revenue/publicity to Flithy Philadelphia!
Shame on all officials responsible. Even the legislature in Annapolis - HOME to NAVY!!!
Shame!
Good to keep the cadets, middies, fans and alumni away from Harm City!
Out of control crime, riots, and the tearing down of statues of West Point Alumni-makes you wonder why Philly was the choice??? (sarcasm alert going off)
