Often celebrated as the "small college" version of the Army-Navy Game, the Secretaries' Cup brings together two proud federal service academies in one of college athletics' most cherished traditions. For over forty years, this matchup has symbolized the dedication, sportsmanship, and commitment to teamwork and service embodied by student-athletes from both institutions. It is the final game of the regular season for NCAA Division III football and the only matchup of its kind between federal service academies competing at that level.

Both Merchant Marine and Coast Guard would love nothing more than to see the stands packed on Nov. 15.
 
Both academies will be working closely with the Fenway Sports Group in the coming months to determine groups in the community around Boston to consider receiving the donated tickets.
