The home of the Army Black Knights athletic teams is the United States Military Academy, commonly known as West Point, located in Orange County, New York. Situated scenically overlooking the Hudson River roughly fifty miles north of New York City, the historic campus has served as the premier institution for training and educating commissioned officers for the United States Army since eighteen hundred and two. Athletic events for the Black Knights take place across world-class campus facilities, including the historic Michie Stadium, where the football team hosts its passionate supporters.
