1961 is the last time that the NFL Draft was held in Philadelphia. It's also when Gailmarie Wehmeyer became an Eagles Season Ticket Member.
Well, her father, Harry Mager, actually purchased two season tickets in the upper level at Franklin Field for him and his wife, Jane. However, Wehmeyer's mother did not enjoy the season opener (a 27-20 win over Cleveland, nonetheless). Mager took his daughter the following week and she has been going to Eagles home games ever since.
Wehmeyer, who was 12 at the time, vividly recalls Eagles home games with her dad. They would drive from their house in Norristown, Pennsylvania to Barren Hill where they would take the bus to the University of Penn's campus which houses the iconic stadium.
