Military Bowl to Move to Annapolis

The Military Bowl is moving to military property.

According to a report in The Capital Gazette, an agreement will be announced Monday to move the college football game from to the U.S Naval Academy's Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, starting with this year's game on Dec. 27.

Sponsor Northrop Grumman historically gives 5,000 tickets to each Military Bowl to military personnel, according to the report, which also states a "military village" will be set up in the stadium parking lot to promote American armed forces.

The game was previously played at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC.

Navy played the inaugural game—then called the EagleBank Bowl—in 2008, losing to Wake Forest by a score of 29-19. In 2010, Maryland beat East Carolina in the game, 51-20.

Navy has an agreement to play in the Military Bowl again in 2015, according to the Gazette report.
