<P> The Rose Bowl is the only site west of the Mississippi River to host the Army--Navy game; it did so in 1983 . The city of Pasadena, California, paid for the travel expenses of all the students and supporters of both academies--9,437 in all . A substitute, however, for Bill XXII--the Navy mascot--and four rented Army mules were brought in . The attendance was 81,000 . The game was held at the Rose Bowl that year because there are a large number of military installations and servicemen and women, along with many retired military personnel, on the West Coast . The game has been held one other time in a non-East Coast venue, at Chicago's Soldier Field, which played host to the 1926 game . In October 1984, the $100,000 in costs to transport the cadets and midshipmen to the California game earned the Department of Defense a "Golden Fleece Award" from United States Senator William Proxmire, a Democrat from Wisconsin . </P> <P> Currently the game is played primarily at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, the home of the Philadelphia Eagles . Since the 1980s, the game has been held roughly once every three or four years at a site other than Philadelphia . In addition to the Rose Bowl, these sites have included Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey (replaced in 2010 by MetLife Stadium, which is scheduled to host the game for the first time in 2021), M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore and FedExField in Landover, Maryland . These are still considered neutral - site games, but provide locations that are closer to one academy or the other . </P> <P> All games through 2020 will be held at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia . MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey will host the 2021 game . The game will then return to Lincoln Financial Field for 2022 . Games beyond 2022 have yet to be awarded . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Venue </Th> <Th> Games </Th> <Th> Army victories </Th> <Th> Navy victories </Th> <Th> Tie games </Th> <Th> First game </Th> <Th> Most recent game </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> John F.
