I don't know if you can get/see this without a subscription...very impressive pictures of the almost completed Football locker rooms from our friend Kate at DMN! We had Ryan Smith at our table yesterday at the Kick Off ( Thanks to OTP/Mestango who paid for and hosted our table...thanks to OTP!) and Ryan raved about how great and impressive the SMU Football lockers rooms are....

Renovations to SMU's locker room and team meeting rooms are nearing completion. The school says nearly $3 million was spent on the Ford Stadium improvements, including a new playing surface that has been in place.

From SMU: The renovations include a new team meeting room with stadium-style seating as well as renovated positional meeting rooms. Changes to the locker room included the creation of a new team lounge, as well as new lockers, updated graphic and audio/visual equipment.

Walter Umphrey, a former SMU student and Beaumont attorney, donated $1 million to the efforts in honor of his former Mustang teammate Garry Weber. SMU alumnus and Austin businessman John Gorman and an anonymous Houston-based donor each gifted $500,000 for the project, and the remaining balance of the $2.7 million was from various donors.

Thanks to the people who helped make this happen (and to OTP for the invite to the luncheon)

As PS said, the players love the upgrades.

They look great, but the one post about them being "underwhelming" was ridiculous.

It's a freaking locker room. Should the players have their own IPad, TV or microwave oven built in along with a recliner? Just drives me nuts.

The Neon red is a little overwhelming but if the players are pumped about it, that is good enough for me.... Great Job, SMU..

MM,
as you know there will always be some idiot that post an idiot type of statement no matter what the subject is. Probably never set foot on the TCU campus

Those look great! I am glad to see you guys are keeping up with the infrastructure upgrades at NT and TCU. The Metroplex teams all have great facilities now!
