I hear they have a great brunch. They sell beer right outside the stadium on the side by the reservoir. Great photo ops overlooking the Hudson near the cannons and the piece of the chain that was once used to block navigation on the Hudson. We headed over there after watching the cadets parade by. Get a picture with Patton, Ike, MacArthur statues, Army was my first team back in the late 60s/early 70s and it’s still one of the greatest places to see a football game. I’ve been meaning to head up there again this season. Please let us know how tte cruise is. Sounds like a llot if fun, but the time window is tight on campus.

The brunch at Thayer is pretty good.

It will be crowded but the food is good as brunch buffets go. Agree with your other thoughts. By the time you walk from the parade to the stadium and take pictures you still have ample time to enjoy the activities behind the bleachers on the reservoir side. Lots of tents selling beer and food. Cadets show up there and walk constantly through that area prior to the game. It is definitely a great way to spend an October afternoon.

I was still out there enjoying a beer when the parachutists

jumped into the Stadium. When I went to walk in, Army was just coming out of their locker room and were gathering to run out on the field. Had to wait for them to run out before I could walk under the stands to my seat, but they were just a few feet away getting fired up.
