Army-Rutgers football at Stadium in November

College football will return to Yankee Stadium Saturday, Nov. 12, when the Black Knights of Army and the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers will oppose each other for the 38th time in their history. The kickoff is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. for the game that will be televised by CBS.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public Thursday, June 23, at http://www.yankees.com/football and http://www.pinstripebowl.com. Special ticket packages will be available to season ticket holders from Army (www.goarmysports.com) and Rutgers (www.scarletknights.com).

It will be Army’s second game at the current Yankee Stadium. West Point played in the new Stadium’s first college football game Nov. 20, 2010 in a 27-3 loss to Notre Dame in the 50th meeting between the universities.

Army played 38 times at the original Stadium and had a combined record of 14-19-5 against Air Force (1959), Columbia (1936), Illinois (1930, ‘47), Michigan (1945, ‘50), Navy (1930-31), Notre Dame (1925-29, ‘31-46, ‘69), Oklahoma (1961), Pittsburgh (1962), Princeton (1942), Southern California (1951), Stanford (1928, ‘48) and Syracuse (1960, ‘64).

Rutgers will return to the home of the Yankees for the first time since 1948. The Scarlet Knights played nine times at the original Yankee Stadium, all against New York University, and were 1-7-1. NYU and Rutgers played annually from 1926-33 and then resumed the rivalry for one year in 1948. Rutgers holds a 19-18 edge in its all-time series against Army.
