I think the stadium was slightly lacking. Even on the 4th level the seats were great but the speaker system is crap up there, everything is too loud out in the walkways but you can't understand a word the announcers say once you get to your seats. It was a military bowl and at some point some veterans came on the field and we could see that everyone in the lower levels were standing but we couldn't hear what they were saying. It was a televised game so they moved everyone from the upper levels to the lower which is great but I just wished when they did that they asked what side you were rooting for, we just sat wherever we wanted after that though.
We loved that Air Force was playing on the east coast. Disappointed that schools won't allow fans a way to easily purchase tickets through them. We loved sitting with 22,000 Air Force fans. We appreciate Northrup Grumman sponsoring the bowl so that our tickets supported the USO. My husband loved the military exhibition in front of RFK!
The military ceremonies were great. Especially, the Enlistment swearing-in with the AF Chief of Staff, but all the commercials regarding "3-Star" & "5-Star" supporters, as well as the extra "media time-outs" were a drag!
Fantastic game with a fantastic finish. Although the 2-pt conversation to win or lose can be questioned on AF's part, I loved the call. Great job to the Military Bowl to get such well matched teams!
Amazing experience! Great teams. Employees at the stadium were awesome!
Great game, excellent venue for a military team to be in a post season bowl game.
I would recommend this game since over the years the teams have been evenly matched. Out of the 4 years of coming to this bowl, this was the best game. The teams played to their strenghts and kept the fans in their seats until the last 52 seconds. What a great match-up.
Very cool to watch football again in a historic stadium. Place literally shakes for big plays, which Maryland made plenty of. Has the true feeling of a classic football game and how football is meant to be played.
Bought tickets to the game and the official tailgate. Game was great - official tail gate sucked! Not as advertised... Advertised 2 free beers per person - none - had to pay to drink - lines for food were outrageously long...food was just mini samples - I would never ever pay for the tailgate - ended up leaving the tailgate after about 30 mins and met some friends and had our own tailgate.
