5 Reasons to Stay in Anne Arundel County for the Army Navy Football Game

Heading to the Army-Navy Football Game?

Consider this your sign to make Anne Arundel County your home away from home for the weekend. Here are five reasons to skip the post-game traffic and stay a little longer in a destination that truly knows ball. 

1. You’re Minutes from the Game 

Skip the post-game traffic chaos. Cozy up in North Anne Arundel County hotels near BWI Airport and the Arundel Mills area for a modern, comfortable stay and know you’re just 15 minutes from all the Army–Navy action. The M&T Bank Stadium is located in Baltimore, Maryland but only a short drive from us!

2. Comfort Over Crowds

Say goodbye to sleepless nights in crowded downtowns. Our local hotels give you space, peace, and all the modern comforts you deserve after a big game. 

3. Visit Where the Midshipmen Call Home 

Downtown Annapolis is only 25 minutes away. Historic streets, waterfront vibes, and a chance to see the place the Midshipmen call home—perfect for fans, alumni, and family alike. 

4. Game Day Grub You Can’t Miss 

Crab cakes, oysters, cozy waterfront dinners… basically, a game day foodie dream. Treat yourself to the top Chesapeake flavors and fuel up for the big game! 

5. Weekends Are Better Than Day Trips 

Why limit yourself to a day trip when you can make it a full weekend? Dive into one-of-a-kind holiday festivities—from shopping for deals at Downtown Annapolis during Midnight Madness to exploring Maryland’s largest outlet at Arundel Mills. Catch dazzling light show parades along the harbor or sneak into one of Annapolis’ cozy speakeasies for cocktails and memories that last long after the weekend ends. Think you could fit all that into just one day? Yeah… we didn’t think so either. 

Oh, and...Go Navy beat Army!
