Army and Rutgers to play third ever football game at Yankee Stadium November 12

It may look nice but Yankee Stadium has awful
sight lines for football.
It seems like Army is trying to set the record for most football games played at the new house, when for the second straight year they play at Yankee Stadium. Last year it was against Notre Dame, in a game that Army would pounded by the Fighting Irish 27-3.  That game sold out, and was the harder draw then the later and much crappier Pinstripe Bowl.

This year Army will face Rutgers, a local team that is sure to draw a lot of local alumni. Last season, the Yankees never had an official pre-sale for the ND-Army game and eventually screwed the fans by selling tickets only through a bundle of buying the ND-Army game, the pinstripe bowl and a field level seat for a Yankee game. Those packages were costing over $500, a bit high if you ask me. Last season I vented my frustrations about that practice here.

I'm not sure who's home game it is, but I'm going to guess Army.
