DALLAS (SMU) – SMU Football will hold its annual Spring Game, presented by All My Sons Moving and Storage, Friday, April 14 at Highland Park High School.

Gates will open at 6 p.m. on the north (home) side of the stadium and admission is free. Seating will be available in the north side bleachers.

Regardless of how 'vanilla' the play calling is, this should be even more interesting than usual considering all of the new faces.

Biggest downside to having the game at HP stadium is no beer sales!
