NAA CAMPUS BRAGGING RIGHTS:
National Aviation Academy has two campuses. One campus is in Bedford, Massachusetts and we tend to refer to this campus as the New England Campus. The other campus is in Clearwater, Florida which is in the Tampa Bay Area. On Sunday, August 17, 2008, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced off against the New England Patriots at Raymond James Stadium for a little fun in the pre-season. In the end, the bragging rights go to the Florida Campus. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the New England Patriots 27-10. A special note from the webguy...Yes, I realize this is pre-season.
