I have a couple of questions about the Army-Navy game…
(1) We recently received a football ticket request order form from the Army "A Club." The form is due June 15. I have also heard that tickets to the Army-Navy game can be purchased on R-Day (my DS reports for Beast next month). Is there any difference between ordering tickets through the A Club by mail vs. purchasing them on R-Day? Or, on R-Day, will I just receive essentially the same order form that I have now? Any tips are appreciated.
(2) I've heard conflicting information regarding a Plebe's ability to spend the night with family during the Army-Navy game weekend. I've seen at least one post on this forum suggesting that Cadets can spend Friday and Saturday night with family (with various scheduling restrictions, of course). On the other hand, Deb Dalton recently told me that overnight visitation is possible, but that "more than likely" my DS would have to come down to Philly Saturday morning and leave Saturday evening (on the "boomerang"?), depending on his ability to obtain a pass. We live close enough to Philly to be able to drive up and back in one day; however, if my DS can spend some time with us before and after the game, then we'll want to get a hotel room. If anyone can share their experiences with this situation it would be greatly appreciated (remember, it is for a Plebe).
Thanks!!
