[5] All of James Madison's home games have been hosted at Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg, Virginia while Richmond hosted its contests at City Stadium until 2009, and from 2010 onward at Robins Stadium, both in Richmond, Virginia; as of 2016, only one game has been played on a neutral field, a 1985 matchup in Norfolk, Virginia.

On October 24, 2015, the rivalry played host to ESPN College Gameday,[6] as the show was broadcast from the campus of James Madison University before the two teams squared off.

The result of the game was the highest scoring affair to date, with the Spiders beating the Dukes 59–49.

[7][8] One interesting note in this matchup is the frequency with which the visiting team wins the contest.

The rivalry will likely go on hiatus after James Madison announced it would elevate its program to Division I FBS for the 2022 season.
