The Southern Methodist football program has still not completely rebounded from the death penalty inflicted in the late 1980’s.
That said, in 2009 and 2010 the Mustangs appeared in consecutive bowl games for the first time since 1983 and 1984.
Fans will no doubt continue to attend games more regularly as wins increase but even with the improvements over the past two seasons the average attendance in Dallas is 23,515 in a facility that holds 32,000.
