Tickets are on sale in the athletic office. Adults tickets $6.00 and student tickets are $3.00. All tickets will be $6.00 at the gate.

Notice of your new reassessment value to be used to calculate your real estate property taxes for 2013 has been mailed to you from Allegheny County. At this time the District cannot advise you of what impact this value change will have on your 2013 taxes because the District will not announce the 2013 tax millage rate until June of 2013. The District is bound by the restrictions of Act 1 which will require the District to re-calculate millage rates to remain revenue neutral following the reassessment. We suggest you refer to the information presented on the County's website at http://www.alleghenycounty.us/courtreassess.aspx.
