Baltimore is preparing to host the annual Army-Navy football game, an event local business leaders believe will deliver a significant economic boost to the city. With thousands of visitors expected, hotels, restaurants, and retail outlets are gearing up for increased customer traffic and higher sales.
The game, which draws a passionate national audience, is seen as more than just a sporting contest—it’s a major driver of tourism and local spending. Officials and entrepreneurs alike expect a surge in activity across downtown venues, particularly in the days leading up to the matchup.
