Gillette Stadium was packed on Saturday as America's Game came to Foxborough for the 124th Army-Navy game. 

And it was no surprise that tickets were in high demand for the matchup, with many making the trip out for the game. That included ESPN's College GameDay. 

There have been some crazy events to occur at Gillette Stadium over the years, including three big days over the summer. But Army-Navy certainly rivals all of those. 

During their broadcast live from the stadium, College GameDay put up a graphic showing just how much the tickets cost. And compared it to some of those popular events. 

According to Vivid Seats, the highest average ticket price for Army-Navy is $712. That was compared to the three days that Taylor Swift played at Gillette Stadium, along with the day Tom Brady returned to Foxborough with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021. 

Rightfully so, Army-Navy is right up there with those other events. 

Why this is significant for the Patriots this season? 

During the Patriots last home game, when they were shut out by the Los Angeles Chargers, the team reached a new low. And that wasn't just because of the score. 

The weather certainly did play a factor, with the rain pouring down, but the team's struggles didn't help. 

According to Ticketmaster, a seat in the lower bowl was selling for as low as $5 just 30 minutes before the game. This was the cheapest one seen that day. 

And what made things worse is the stadium continued to clear out as the game continued, with fans leaving before the game was over. 

While Patriots fans aren't willing to come out and support the team this year, it's comforting to know that this many people come to cheer on Army-Navy in a game that means so much more than football.
