The game alternates between the Coast Guard ‘s Cadet Memorial Field in New London, Connecticut, and the Merchant Marine ‘s Captain Tomb Field in Kings Point, New York merely east of New York City. The game had been played on the concluding Saturday of the Division III football regular season ( broadly mid-November ) from 1991 through 2005.
