Army-Navy matchup to stay in Philadelphia for 4 of next 5 years

The City of Brotherly Love will continue to be a staple in the annual Army vs. Navy rivalry, as it was announced Monday that Philadelphia will host the matchup in four of the next five seasons.

"Philadelphia is synonymous with the Army-Navy game, so it is fitting that we are playing at Lincoln Financial Field for four of the next five matchups," Army athletic director Boo Corrigan said in a statement. "We look forward to continuing the relationship with the city of Philadelphia and creating more memories for America's Game."

The 2018, 2018, 2020, and 2022 seasons will see the contest played in Philadelphia, while the 2021 game will take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, according to Paul Myerberg of USA Today.

Philadelphia has hosted the Army-Navy game 86 out of 117 times, and the 2017 affair will mark the 11th time that Lincoln Financial Field is the home stadium.

Navy leads the all-time series 60-50-7, and is 12-0 at Lincoln Financial Field, including 2-0 against Temple to complement the 10 wins versus Army.
