The Aliquippa School Board announced recently that a fund has been established for the Carl A. Aschman Memorial Stadium upgrade. Beaver County Radio News Correspondent Sandy Giordano reports that the move was made because a group of citizens expressed concerns over the stadium’s need for repairs, painting, and replacement of bleachers. The board approved some repairs and replacement of the press box roof at the May meeting.
The stadium was renamed after the death of Carl Aschman, veteran football coach. He died on Thanksgiving Day 1971 of a heart attack. Coach Aschman retired in 1965 due to ill health
Anyone wishing to donate to the fund must do so by check or money order. The donation is to the Aliquippa School District Stadium Capital Reserve Fund. The district’s address is Aliquippa School District 100 Harding Ave., Aliquippa, PA 15001
ONE ALIQUIPPA, a group of concerned citizens is planning to sell t shirts and baseball caps to raise money. Cost of the items has yet to be announced.
