Congrats. Great news for SMU

SMU is lucky to be drawing 10,000-15,000 for its games. Don’t understand the need to build another 20,000 empty seats for five days per year against teams like Charlotte, Temple and Rice.

Obviously a push for Big 12 future expansion.

SMU and USF seem to be getting facilities squared away in advance of the B12’s next round of beauty pageant.

They may get 18 to 20k for the new conference rivalry games vs North Texas and UTSA. Plus don’t forget Tulsa every other year. Gonna be a hellava AAC West for years to come.

Is that $100 Million just for a new endzone facility?

That sounds kinda high... is there more to the upgrade that I missed?

This.

You may never get invited to the party, anyway. But you’re definitely, 100% guaranteed to never get invited if you’re not ready to go when/if the opportunity comes.

That will change soon.

Love the insecurity of some, that like to bring out schools for not spending on facilities but try to put down any announcements by other schools upgrading facilities

Well someone has to pick your mantle after you leave. With that said they have a long long way to go to match your fans

SMU draws more like 7-10K.

SMU - pay those kids like you can and you’ll fill up any stadium

While we have struggled with attendance throughout the years, that is patently false. What is true is Memphis is the most over-rated basketball team in the country.

Don't yall have some pretty good tailgates though? Just have to migrate those folks inside.

So this is going to replace the grassy hill at the south end? Imo that's a shame. Seeing people picnic while their kids play is, imho, one of my best features of your stadium.
