This marks the first time in the 124-year history of the Army-Navy series that the legendary football game will be held in New England.
“The history of the United States is intertwined with Massachusetts dating back to the founding of the National Guard in 1636 and the founding of the Army in 1775,” then-Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker said about hosting the game.
“We look forward to adding another chapter to that rich history as we welcome servicemen and women and their families to the Commonwealth for America’s Game,” he added.
Giri Hotel Management VP of Marketing Claire Mulholland has expressed support for welcoming migrants.
“We are delighted to confirm that we are indeed taking refugees at our hotels,” Mulholland said.
“By providing shelter to refugees, we aim to be part of a global community that stands together in support of those in need,” she added.
