2. Go to an Army-Navy game

This bucket list has highlighted a few rivalry games already but there’s nothing quite like the Army Black Knights and the Navy Midshipmen continuing their classic rivalry. Regardless of which team comes out on top you can’t beat the pageantry and significance of these two teams meeting on the field.

From before the game, the sights you see of all the cadets marching into the stadium in their uniforms is reason enough to attend this game. But after the two teams do battle for four quarters they sing each other’s alma maters as they come together in front of their fans.

And for the cadets and midshipmen, sitting is not an option. All in attendance must stand throughout the game (not that any of them really want to sit).

This is what it’s all about because they’re teammates in the game of life and after this game, many of them will be heading off to a life of service to keep us free and safe.
