DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU football team will wrap up spring football with a final open practice on Saturday, April 25, at 1 p.m. inside Gerald J. Ford Stadium on the SMU campus. The Mustangs will run approximately 40 plays as part of their annual Red & Blue Scrimmage.
Beginning at 11:30 a.m., there will be free food, giveaways, contests and a live performance by The Big Red Rooster sponsored by the W Hotel of Dallas at Doak Walker Plaza. Food will be provided by Lakewood's 1st & 10, Pluckers, Pokey O's, Olivella's and Celebrity Bakery. Fantastic prizes and giveaways include a Dallas Mavericks signed basketball, a signed Dirk Nowitzki jersey, an Impeccable Pig necklace and a $100 gift certificate to Kenichi.
While The Boulevard will remain closed, SMU Athletics will conduct a public "garage" sale prior to the game in the concourse of Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The sale will start at 12 p.m. and wrap up at the conclusion of the scrimmage. Items for sale will be from SMU's various athletic teams and will include things such as jerseys, polos, t-shirts, shorts, jackets and shoes. Accepted methods of payment will be cash or check only.
Mustang fans are invited to take part in a post-game barbeque at the south end of the stadium. The barbeque will commence around 2:15 p.m. For more information on the barbeque and to RSVP, call Debbie Mulvenna at 214-768-3315 or e-mail her at
