Can Mids have a car in Annapolis?
Plebes and Youngsters are not permitted to drive except when on leave. 2/C
Midshipmen are permitted
to drive and have a car in the area, but must park at least two miles away from the Yard. Parking spaces are available for rent at several of
the larger hotels in town and at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, a two- to three-mile
hike from the Yard. (Not to worry: Your Mid will be accustomed to the walk; the brigade
marches over to the stadium before every home football game.) Some Mids have been able to
park their cars at the home of their sponsor family. Firsties are permitted to park on the
Yard, although during the construction expected to continue for the next several years,
parking spaces are limited, and some Firsties are still parking off the Yard.
