from Paul Salera on 9/12/25

For those of you that requested tickets to the game tonight…

The game is at 7, I would suggest getting there by 6:15 ish or so.  I’ll be at the lower ticket entrance by about 5:45, it’s where students and the band enter.  I’ll be with 2 Asst Principals.  It’s near the bus drop off area by the end zone by the school….you’ll see it.  It’s also Youth nite so there will be a million little ones running around.  Wait till you see how nice and how crowded the stadium gets, it’s better than many small colleges!  The parking lots fill rather quickly but parking is available at Westminster Church.

See you all soon!

Paul

instructions for entry to the football game per Greg Wagner.

1.There are no tickets being given out.  Classmates will enter through the lower     level gate.  Do not try to enter through the upper level ticket booth.

2. Identify you and your guests as a 1975 classmate(s).  Your name will be         matched against the final list I send to Greg.  

3. I’ll be at the gate along with Greg or another designated person from USC.

4. If someone forgets to register with me or is just a walk up that day they will be able to gain entrance.  No problem at all.

5. Once you enter the stadium there will be a designated seating area for the 

1975 class alumni and guests, I believe somewhere around the 50 yard line.

4/5/25 – From Dan Wilhelm – Friday USC Game and post game at Al’s

Friday September 12th – We are going to arrange for seating near the 50 yard line in the first few rows of the Upper St. Clair Stadium for all 75ers attending the game on Friday Sept. 12. We will work with administration to get (free) access for all Class of 75 attendees.

The football team (we expect 15+ including trainers and managers) will have a private meeting beforehand in a room near the stadium that Pat McShane is helping to secure. The team will give verbal invitations to attend the reception to our ’75 coaches and administrators
along with some select special local football team alums from classes adjacent to ’75 like Jeff Joyce, Kenny Brown, Alfie Cuppelli, Joe Keith, Steve Donnelli, Mark Palmeiri, etc. that had a special relationship to our team’s success.

The team will have a social hour before the game, watch the first half together, be honored at halftime on the field and then join our classmates who will be honored as well from their their seats.

After the halftime presentation, we will join our classmates at their seats and then head to Al’s for the informal get together being planned by our Class of ’75 50 Year Reunion entertainment committee.

Dave Carson is helping to drive football team turnout and Pat is helping with Game Day logistics for the team.

75 Forever –
