Boulevard movement
Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2019 6:09 pmHi mustangs,
I just recieved this email from SMU athletics, sent to all undergraduate students.
SMU Students:
Based upon student input over the past few years, the Department of Athletics has implemented several initiatives aimed at enhancing the student experience on football game days. Examples include, but are not limited to: the construction of the Stables, the relocation of the student section (twice) and the addition of a “value” menu. One topic that has been discussed each year is the location of the Student Boulevard and, specifically, its distance from Ford Stadium. The time has arrived to relocate this activity closer to the stadium and tie it more closely to the football game.
In an effort to make this new, reinvented and reimagined Student Boulevard the best experience it can be, leadership from Athletics and Student Affairs has been meeting regularly with various stakeholders, including student leaders from across campus. We have been collectively working to develop a vision for a pre-game and in-game experience that will appeal to the broad student population while also catering to the varying wishes of student groups and organizations. As a result of these conversations, we have identified “Mustang Mall” – the area from the Mustangs statue to Doak Walker statue (Moody Coliseum to the Dedman Center) – as the new location for the Student Boulevard. Our work to formalize the programming and logistics is ongoing; however, we are now seeking additional input to shape our plans in advance of the 2019 season.
To ensure that the Student Body is fully informed about this matter, student leaders involved in these conversations will be holding an information session open to all students tomorrow, Wednesday, March 20, in the Fondren Library Starbucks area from 12 p.m. - 2 p.m. Should you have any clarifying questions or concerns regarding this topic, please stop by. If you are unable to stop by or would like more information, please email [email protected].
We are excited about the future of the Student Boulevard and look forward to working with you, the student body, on this opportunity that we have as an SMU Community to create a spirit-filled, pre-game and in-game experience that all students will enjoy. Pony Up!
Thought you should all be updated.
