Shout Outs

Frequently Asked Questions

Please review our Frequently Asked Questions to have an enjoyable event.

How much is the registration fee and what does it cover?

The registration fee for the 40th Reunion is $130 Classmates, $60 Spouse/SO, $25 Young Adults 12-20, $25 Kids 11 & under, and $25 for Additional Guests. Married classmates must register separately to ensure Swag and a proper name tag. The registration fee includes classmate swag and helps to cover the administrative costs associated with planning the reunion, but not limited to, ancillary tailgate costs, programs, usage fees, signage, printing, and nametags. Help the reunion committee by making plans early.
* Prices will increase after 13 Aug 2023. NOTE: ORDERS PLACED AFTER 2 SEP ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO BE AVAILABLE AT THE REUNION. SWAG ITEMS WILL BE MAILED TO YOUR ADDRESS.

What if I'm married to a classmate, do we both have to pay the Classmate registration fee?

Yes. Married classmates must register separately. This ensures each classmate has a proper name tag and not a guest name tag. Since we base the fees on the number of classmates attending the reunion to cover the fixed costs for the entire weekend, we ask that all classmates pay their fee. Each classmate will need to create their own registration.  Thank you!

Can I pay with cash or check?

No, to keep efficient processes, we are only accepting credit card transactions - cash and check are not accepted.

What is the processing fee?

The processing fee covers the credit card transaction fees.

When does registration close? What are the late registration fees?

The sooner you register, the more money you save! The registration fee for the 40th Reunion is for classmate swag and helps to cover the administrative costs associated with planning the reunion, but not limited to, ancillary tailgate costs, programs, usage fees, signage, printing, and nametags. Help the reunion committee by making plans early. You have the option to pay over time.
* Prices will increase after 13 Aug 2023. NOTE: ORDERS PLACED AFTER 2 SEP ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO BE AVAILABLE AT THE REUNION. SWAG ITEMS WILL BE MAILED TO YOUR ADDRESS.

What is the refund policy?

Refunds will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis minus the processing fees. Refund requests will be determined by the Reunion Committee.

What identification do I need to gain access to the Yard?

Anyone 18 years of age or older must present a valid, unexpired original REAL ID Act compliant U.S. government photo ID card (e.g., state issued driver's license or identification card); or an original, unexpired passport to enter USNA grounds.

Where do I buy game tickets in the class block?

Purchase tickets in the Class Block directly from NAAA with the Promo Code 1983 and this link: Click Here.

Can I park in The Yard?

Getting your vehicle onto, and parking in The Yard is very, very challenging at this point given the various ongoing construction projects underway.  We do NOT recommend planning on parking in The Yard.  Most access will be via foot at Gate 1 or via shuttle bus.

How can families of fallen classmates register to attend the reunion?

The USNA Class of 1983 would be honored to have families of our fallen classmates join us for the weekend.  Please contact the Reunion Committee for more details.

Can I park at the stadium during game day?

In short, No. Parking will NOT be sold for the stadium (Blue and Gold) lots on game day. A season parking pass can be purchased by season ticket holders. Satellite parking is available at the Harry S Truman Park and Ride, located on Harry S Truman Parkway just off Riva Road. Shuttle service begins five (5) hours prior to the start of the game. Service continues throughout all games, ending approximately two (2) hours after each game's completion. The shuttle runs approximately every 20 minutes, and drops off and picks up at the Navy Ticket Office at the Class of 1953 Pavilion. Handicapped Parking: For access to handicapped parking, you must have a season parking pass. In order to obtain handicapped parking, one must purchase a season parking pass as well as have a state issued handicapped parking placard or license plate. Please see the NAAA Football Parking & Fan Guide at www.navysports.com.

Does the Stadium have a Clear Bag policy?

Yes! Navy has adopted A Clear Bag Policy already enacted by many schools around the nation. This policy was adopted to enhance public safety and make stadium access more efficient.

Permitted Items: Clear bags no larger than 12"X12"X6", small clutch purses no larger than 4.5"X6.5", blankets, seat cushions, diaper bags, umbrella strollers, and video cameras. All items will be inspected.

Prohibited Items: see the full list at navysports.com

Where can I buy Class Memorabilia?

Each classmate will received a full swag bag and will be able to choose which item to include. Additional swag items can be purchased separately on the site.
