If you are truly a SMU supporter why do you have to be sold on buying season tickets to BB especially when you live in the area? I just do not get it. All our athletic programs need financial support both through the MC and through ticket sales. Also if you do buy tickets, it would be great if you actually used them.

I attended SMU FB and BB during the Pony Express Days.

A rock'ng Moody was just as entertaining as anything the football team produced. Plus the games are shorter in duration which could be a plus when you have kids.

btw, good BBQ would sell really well at Moody.

That's what she said....sorry couldn't resist.

Dutch - basketball crowds can be a lot of fun if we ever get moody packed to capacity. The crowd is "closer to the action" than football.

our "1st year" players did that promo video "Bringing Moody back!" I hope, for those of you who have never experienced Moody rocking, that they are able to accomplish just that before they are done here at SMU. As former Baylor coach (Jim Haller?) once said, Moody is one of the great holler houses from the old SWC days

great atmosphere starts with having a bunch of rowdy students courtside. Hope the redesign accomplishes that

Don’t know if the new designs included this or not, but now that we are BE, this is such an obvious MUST. One of those no-brainer decisions you hope they don’t botch up.

When I was a student, if you didn’t get there early enough for bigger conference games, you stood in the corners and were still happy. Became a great social event as well.

Lower Bowl = students only.

Suites = Beer and Wine and MC members.

During my years, we would pack the memphis game. Most fun I've ever had at an SMU sporting event.

Plus one of the students printed out "scouting reports" on the memphis players that had been arrested, etc...
