The Naval Academy Athletic Association is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization charged with providing resources to support 45 varsity and junior varsity programs offered by the Naval Academy. The NAAA operates with the guidance of the Naval Academy’s Board of Control, whose members report to the Superintendent of the United State Naval Academy.
TOP TICKET PRIORITY FOR SEASON TICKET HOLDERS AT AWAY AND NEUTRAL SITE GAMES * Ability to purchase at least four (4) Club Seats to Maryland, Notre Dame and Army-Navy games * Exclusive seating area * Climate-controlled concourse * Club Level concessions and amenities * Priority for away football game tickets
Over 90 percent of funding support for the NAAA programs is through external sources of revenue (i.e. Blue & Gold memberships, ticket sales, corporate sponsorship, television revenue, parking, etc.). Less than 10 percent of the operating budget for the varsity and junior varsity programs is provided by the Academy via government funding.

games of the year. Navy opens the season in September against Maryland at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore and plays host to Notre Dame on October 23 at the New Meadowlands Stadium. The Army-Navy football game is December 11 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa.
