Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo always appreciates the calm anticipation moments  before opening kickoff against the Army. Here are the highlights:

• Niumatalolo describes it as a chilling feel there unlike any other game.
• That sudden rush you get after those serene moments can seriously amp you up.
• Due to the pandemic, this is the first time in 77 years it’ll be played at West Point’s Michie Stadium.
• Both schools agreed to this for safety reasons because Philadephia’s attendance capacity for outside events got more stringent.
• Regardless of the change, the show must go on.
• Army coach Jeff Monken said the excitement and history makes it even more intriguing to play here a fourth time.
• No fans will be allowed at the stadium, but the entire Brigade of Midshipmen and Corps of Cadets will be in attendance. President Trump is scheduled to fly in.
• Between the history of the rivalry and the anticipation of the game,  this is sure to be quite the show.
