The practice field locker room is lined with pictures of almost everything interesting that happened football-wise at Navy. I don' remember there being any pictures of it, but that by no means indicates that it didn't happen.

One of the Navy practice fields is right outside Annapolis harbor. During our summer training camps, there were sailboats/yachts moored outside the harbor just to see the goings on of our camp and Plebe Summer, which would be going on at the same time. Maybe you saw a Navy Training Camp? The Navy Stadium, where an actual scrimmage would have been held, is about 1.5 miles inland from Annapolis Harbor.

But Steve Belichick was a scout, which means he had major ties to pro teams. He could have arranged a scrimmage on Farragut Field, no problem. I would say it would even be likely, it would benefit both institutions, bringing visitors to USNA, and spectators to a Colts camp special event.
 No it was not Navy. I remember the white helmets with the blue horse shoes. Considering how close Annapolis is to Baltimore, they may have had one that I went to because of a scheduling conflict with their regular training field. Or it might have been some sort of charity event. But it was the Colts. Now again, I may be confusing Annapolis with Baltimore, but I swear on my life it was a Colt's scrimmage held at Naval Academy. 

I say that because you do see sports venues get moved for a game or even a season due to weather or scheduling conflicts. 

Oh yea, I never said the field was next to the harbor, but the 1.5 miles sounds about right for Annapolis.
