This is an all-time majestic setting for college football. Highly recommended. Unparalleled Hudson Valley vistas against a backdrop of rich military tradition. The entire experience of attending a game at Michie stadium is reminiscent of famed sportswriter Grantland Rice's description of a 1924 Army vs. Notre Dame game at the Polo Grounds. Call me a sentimental sports enthusiast, but I dig these misty echoes of times past:

[I]New York Herald Tribune[/I], 18 October 1924
[INDENT][I]Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army football team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down on the bewildering panorama spread on the green plain below.

Cut to 2023 when SU plays Army in the Dome and the last sentence might read:
