Was this inside or outside of Ford? Home side or visitor's side?

Does SMU set up a table to sell stuff at away games too?
If not, why not?
I guess the question is ...."is this a common practice at all stadiums, for the visiting team to set up a vendor table"?
If everybody does this then I see nothing wrong with it, but if we are the only ones allowing it then it should be looked at

When was the last time SMU took 10-15K fans to an away game? Baylor had a great idea in selling merchandise to their Dallas alumni who don't regularly make the trek down to Jerusalem on the Brazos. When SMU played down there 2 years ago, we had maybe 500 fans.

Yeah...I was one of 'em who sat there and watched that bowel movement inside Floyd Casey Stadium. Just ridiculous.

TCU always sets up on our visitor side. I have never seen SMU products at an away game.

I noticed a Baylor table inside behind the student section on my way out Saturday. I don't think I've ever noticed visiting team merchandise before, but then again I never looked for it.

Other schools had tables inside Ford previous years.

In a few more years, we may not have enough fans to run the merchandise table!
