President Trump was greeted at his third Army-Navy football game with cheers and applause from the crowd.
He stood with representatives from Army and Navy during the national anthem then stood on the sideline to watch the teams run out onto the field.
The president walked out to midfield for the coin toss where he was greeted with a round of applause from the crowd and tossed the coin.

Navy called tails and won the toss.
When President Trump arrived at his seat for the game, the crowd gave him a rousing welcome:

Before the game, the president visited both locker rooms.
He had just signed an executive order to allow military academy athletes to play pro sports:
