getting young parents to bring their families to SMU games is a sign the program is developing a fanbase. For several decades young graduates have deserted the program leaving only the blue-hairs. The Endzone facility is big attraction for kids.

Hey. I resemble that remark. My 6 and 2 year old were at the game. Six year old has attended since she was 4 months old. Last night, my 2 year old could be heard screaming, "Go Defense!" with her mommy and daddy. The 6 year old is one of the best fans SMU has going for it right now. So no, I won't get a sitter. I don't expect anyone to be quiet so my kids won't be disturbed, but I intend to bring them to every game this season. They are why we bought 4 season tickets instead of 2!

I stand corrected. My apologies.

You should consider a life. Perhaps your posting photo is actually your tiny little world.

Lay off, he was just venting after a very lame home opener experience.

Stallion, you are totally right. Any event where people are able and encouraged to bring the whole family is great for building the future of an interest in that event. Just trying to fill the stadium with former lettermen or sports fans 25-40 will just not work.
