Vehicular access to Academy grounds is very limited. Parking and shuttle transportation is available at the Navy Stadium, a few blocks from the Navy Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, the Belichick family has asked that donations be made in Steve Belichick's memory to the Steve Belichick Scholarship Fund, established to reward outstanding student-athletes at Steve Belichick's alma mater, Struthers High School in Struthers, Ohio. The grant will provide opportunities to college candidates in the same way that a scholarship enabled Steve Belichick to attend college at Western Reserve.
