President Donald Trump plans to attend the annual Army-Navy football game on Saturday along with a limited crowd due to restrictions over the coronavirus pandemic, according to people familiar with the matter.

Pro football stadiums in Philadelphia and Baltimore typically host the historic match-up to accomodate tens of thousands of fans. But this year, the teams will face off at the smaller Michie Stadium on the campus of the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York.
