Foxboro will be packed with thousands of military veterans, service academy graduates and families on Saturday, with Gillette Stadium hosting the 124th edition of the Army-Navy football game.

Every fan in need of a hotel room for the big game has been accommodated, state officials and tourism leaders confirmed to the Herald on Friday.

Travel agents told the Herald in October that the arrival of migrant families at area hotels canceled rooms reserved for veterans, students and families, but after reports came out, the state took action.

The Executive Office of Veterans Services formed a working group with economic and tourism groups to assess the situation, and one agency created a hotline that people could call if they were searching for a room.

“The Executive Office of Veterans Services worked closely with event organizers, Meet Boston, and other stakeholders to ensure that everyone was accommodated for the Army-Navy game,” the spokesperson said.

A travel agent who handles hotel rooms for military families previously told the Herald that at least 70 of his rooms at three hotels were “taken back” by the hotel management company because the state recently contracted to put newly arrived migrants there.

“That is correct,” Mark Mansbach of New Jersey-based Hillsdale Travel had said. “I have enough rooms to cover some of the people. Some people are looking around but pricing is very high. For many, the issue is safety … they are questioning the safety of remaining hotels located near those that are now filled with migrants. Lots of questions by my clients and most hotels are scrambling to come up with safety protocols.”

A spokesperson for Meet Boston, the primary tourism bureau for Greater Boston, told the Herald that an original statement on the situation from October still holds true today.

“Recent attention has focused on an isolated situation, at specific hotels, in the area around Gillette Stadium which has created a false notion that widespread hotel displacement is happening without solutions in place,” the statement said.

“Downtown Boston hotels are well prepared and equipped to accommodate the thousands of guests,” it continued, “especially our veterans whom we’re honored to host, visiting our region for the Army-Navy game.”

Meet Boston worked for years in partnership with the state, Gillette Stadium, and hotels across the area, in preparing for the Army-Navy game, the first time Massachusetts is playing host to the matchup.

Events have already gotten underway, with the Patriot Games and Parade on Friday. Crowds turned out for the full-day friendly competition between cadets from the United States Military Academy and the midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy.

But even with the state getting control of the hotel situation, the issue prompted U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, to send a letter to President Biden this week, blasting the administration’s “failing” border policies.

Ernst referenced articles reported by Boston news outlets in October about how the influx of migrants led to families being displaced from hotel rooms for the game.

“It’s clear: these cancellations are due to your administration’s decision to ship illegal immigrants across the country to sanctuary cities at taxpayers’ expense,” the senator wrote.

Speaking at Gillette Stadium during Army-Navy media day last week, Patriots president Jonathan Kraft highlighted the anticipation for the game. The matchup has been sold out for months.

“I can tell you that the ticket demand for this game is greater than any AFC Championship Game that we’ve hosted here, greater than Taylor Swift, greater than anything else we’ve ever seen,” Kraft said. “So, this next week is just gonna be so exciting.”

More than 50,000 tickets have been purchased by out-of-state fans, Gov. Maura Healey said. “The Army-Navy Game is a huge win for our state,” she said during the media day.

Ernst cited Kraft’s quote in her letter to Biden.

“It is flatly unacceptable for our veterans and military families to be displaced because of your administration’s failure to secure our southern border,” she wrote. “Military families who have scrimped and saved to be able to afford a trip to the Army-Navy game should not have to compete with illegal immigrants for hotel room space.”

The number of people arriving in Massachusetts seeking shelter is “actually going down,” Healey said Thursday as federal lawmakers continued their push for more aid from the Biden administration.

Emergency shelters reported 7,531 families staying at sites across the state, with 3,818 living in hotels and motels, 3,656 at traditional shelter sites, and 57 in temporary locations, according to data last updated Wednesday.

A Healey spokesperson said the state is seeing about 25 families arriving in Massachusetts each day seeking emergency shelter, down from about 35-40 families per day in late summer.

Yarmouth resident Cheryl Ball, administrator of the “Cape Cod Concerned Citizens” Facebook group, is renting a shuttle van that she and a group of roughly 15 Cape Cod residents will take to get to Gillette Stadium.

They will be holding a pre-game rally advocating that veterans must come before migrants. Ball expects more “like-minded folks” to join the cause.

“Even if it’s one, it’s wrong,” Ball told the Herald about migrants displacing veterans from hotel rooms. “That’s the way I feel about this at this point. I just feel that no veteran should ever be taking second place to a noncitizen. … Veterans first.”
