SleepingGiantFan Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Any attendee who isn't currently in the Navy/a current ND student or isn't a Navy vet/ND grad should be shot. 2 2 Quote Boom goes the dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Navy home game, you would be supporting Navy if you went. Although it will most likely look like a ND home game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest elefish92 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 It may be common knowledge but San Diego is a huge military hub. Quite frankly, I think Navy may show up more than Notre Dame. Then again Notre Dame has more non-alumni fans than alumni fans so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It really sucks that Navy is in a down year. 14 hours ago, SleepingGiantsFan said: Any attendee who isn't currently in the Navy/a current ND student or isn't a Navy vet/ND grad should be shot.

A decent contingent of military are ND fans, though they couldn't tell you what state ND is in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badfish Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Of course it’s gojng to be a zoo. It’s the region’s largest employer vs the biggest bandwagon fan base in the country. Don’t act like if this game was in your stadium it wouldn’t sell more tickets than your MWC team, cuz it definitely would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the former 1066 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I wonder if the new SDSU stadium will be large enough to hold a game like this. I have heard or read that it will be only about 40K in capacity. Of course we do not know when exactly it will be built. SD is decidedly a Navy town however and Navy will always come west to play their game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many military follow their branches team tho as majority of them did not go to the academy? And it is widely known ND has one of the largest fan bases in the country regardless of how well they are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a few enlisted Marines cheered for them, though they typically wouldn't break plans to attend a random Navy game. But with the opponent being ND, and SD County Navy and Marine bases promoting selling these tickets like crazy, I would venture to guess more than 70% of the active duty crowd at that game will be non-Academy.

SDSUfan Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Tickets aren't hard to come by. I got 4 for free, so I'm going. It should be fun.

Will be the biggest game in SD for a long time If this game were being played in the Bay Area, and SJSU were on the road, I’d definitely go. ND is my second favorite college team, and I’ve been fortunate enough to see them play at Stanford Stadium a couple of times. As someone raised around the USN, with family members making that their career, a cousin who is a graduate of the Naval Academy, and my own career supporting the USN, I also root for the Midshipmen. For me, attending the game would be a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are so many officers active and veteran in San Diego the squiddlies will have a big rooting section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
