Grannemann Hosting 2021 Commander’s Classic Game November 5, 2022
The 2021 Commander’s Classic was the first college football game at Globe Life Field. It featured the Army-Air Force football game, with Air Force as the home team. The Grannemann family hosted a ’61 group for the game. Army won the close game in overtime. Rod has graciously agreed to host another Class get together for the 2022 game. Army will be the home team for the return meeting on November 5, 2022. The current plan is for a Class dinner Friday, game Saturday AM, Class dinner Saturday PM, and maybe a Sunday brunch. There is a Class hotel for the event. SEATING For the Class there three ticket/seating options: 1) Join other classmates in a Private Suite; 2) Join other classmates in a ‘61 Block of seats in stadium seating; 3) Sit with who you want/where you want in Individual Seating. Ticket Option 1 – Private Suite
One of the ticket options offered for the game is a private suite like the one the Class had for last year’s game. This option is now confirmed and the suite is reserved for the ’61 group. Currently, there are a few more requesting this option than can be accommodated. Those that responded in the first survey that they were a Yes for attending the game and a Yes for the Private Suite are now confirmed for Private Suite tickets for themselves and their guests. Those that responded in the first survey either that they were a Yes for attending and a Maybe for the Private Suite or those that indicated a Maybe for attending and a Yes for the Private Suite are currently on a wait list for the tickets for the Private Suite. Priority on the Wait List is based on the time stamp of the response to the first survey. New respondents indicating a Yes for attending can request Private Suite tickets. They will be placed on the waiting list for suite tickets with a priority based on the time stamp of their current submission. Cost per ticket is $448.83, not including food, beverages, or parking. Rod will have the tickets for this option and will give those to you when you arrive in TX. Full payment for tickets must be paid to Rod NLT 1 Jul. Generous tips welcome. Mail payment to: Rod Grannemann 841 Clear Fork Drive Lantana, TX 76226 Cost for food, beverages, and parking will be determined later and provided to you at the game. You can pay for those while in town for the game. The suite is a super option. Great view of the game from deluxe stadium type seats. Big screen monitors for close ups and replays. Plenty of room to gather and talk. Hi top table for eating and drinking. Easy chairs for relaxing. All you can eat and drink. A first class operation. This option includes an entrance ticket. Here is what the stadium folks have to say about the suite. The Legacy Suites feature more space for entertaining and a more luxurious interior finish to create a superior experience for your guests. Located on the Lower Concourse in The TX District, these suites are designed to give you spaces for rich interaction and memorable shared experiences — and staged to let you move through each effortlessly. Step toward the field and marvel at the view as the diamond unfolds before you. Grab one of the seats in the two rows outside your suite, where you and your guests can take in the game – and be closer to it. Suites at Globe Life Field are the closest to home plate in the league. Enter the suite and you’ll be in the lounge space, purposefully designed for conversation. Catch up with loved ones. Close the deal. Cheer our team.

Grab something tasty from the serving area or the kitchen fridge. Enjoy it where you’d like – you can configure this space however you’d like. Ticket Option 2 – ’61 Block The second option is to join other classmates in a ‘61 Block of seats in stadium seating. If there are enough that select this option, Rod will get a block of seats for the Class. The block will be located in the Plaza West section that is shown on the stadium seating chart below. These are excellent seats located mid-field and at an excellent height above the field for viewing the game. Rod will purchase the tickets for this option and you will pay him for the tickets. You can pick them up when you arrive for the game. The discounted price for these tickets is $158 plus tax and fee. Rod will confirm the full price as soon as it is available from his stadium POC. You must confirm your request NLT 1 June and pay him for your tickets NLT 1 July. Generous tips welcome. Mail payment to: Rod Grannemann 841 Clear Fork Drive Lantana, TX 76226
Ticket Option 3 – Individual Seating The third option is to sit with who you want/where you want in Individual Seating. If you select this option, you should find out who else wants to sit in the same section with you and order tickets for your group directly from the Army football ticket office. West Point has blocks of seats in different sections on the Army side of the field and in the end zone.
