Ponying Up: SMU embarks on $100 million football stadium upgrade

[TopFrog]

How much would a couple of tarps cost?

Hello, Baylor? SMU here.

Looks to me that this will actually result in FEWER seats by knocking out the top half of their north end zone

Lol

This is in the south end zone, where the grass is now

Want to know how much this news excties smu fans? Ponyfans and the 24/7 site have as many views as we do across our two main boards, but we have more replies.

smu fan base is weak

The main SMU pay site moved to On3. Get woke.

Indeed. The last few times I went there (for TCU games) it was like they had no idea how to handle a crowd of any size. Parking has always been atrocious. Concessions too. Kept from me from ever going to see them playing the few more interesting opponents that they had. I'm sure a decent number of casual fans are kept away for the same reasons.

Completely true. There is no place to park there. Adding more seats? Before they add a single seat they need to add a whole bunch of parking spaces.

Not really adding seats, this just replaces the grassy hill that a bunch of people sit on now. Most of the $$ is the suites and the new football operations center, which is desperately needed. The first person to make me laugh in this thread gets a suite invite for the 2024 game.

And yeah, parking sucks, just take Uber Black or get an Alto membership…this is the Park Cities, not Fort Worth.

Who do you think you are?!

 

[watchfrog]

All the empty seats in their horseshoe are imbalanced by the grassy hill.

Especially when it caught fire

Nope. Can't do Uber on my flip phone.

The Dallas jersey thingy didn't whip up any additional interest. Think Cowtown on the front of our jerseys would be more catchy... not that it would add any butts in seats.

Why don't you get a Black Berry...

They do need to upgrade their stadium. It is tired. However, sticking a bunch of expensive seats in the endzone seems like a waste of money.

hired the same architecture firm that came up with the ags redesign back in the day

Isn't that grassy hill where 2 of the shots that hit Kennedy came from?

True. Whoever ya’ll hire after Sonny flames out may drop the series.

No no no. this is Highland Park. That is actual Dallas. Please don’t confuse the two.
