The 6 Best Sights & Landmarks in West Point, New York (NY)
West Point is the oldest continuously occupied military post in the United States. Located on the Hudson River in New York, West Point was identified by General George Washington as the most important strategic position in America during the American Revolution. Until January 1778, West Point was not occupied by the military. On January 27, 1778, Brigadier General Samuel Holden Parsons and his brigade crossed the ice on the Hudson River and climbed to the plain on West Point and from that day to the present, West Point has been occupied by the United States Army. It comprises approximately 16,000 acres (6,500 ha) including the campus of the United States Military Academy, which is commonly called "West Point".

Michie Stadium is on the grounds of the United States Military Academy at West Point. This is a fantastic place to watch a college football game. Seating capacity is 38,000 and I recommend getting upper deck tickets as close to the 50 yard line as possible. Seats are all aluminum bleachers so be sure to bring some seat pads or blankets, especially on cold days. Concession stands are located all over the stadium and are not at all expensive. $4 hot dogs, $4 soft drinks and $5 buckets of popcorn. It is an NCAA facility located on an active US Army Installation, so no alcohol sales within the stadium. Enjoy!
