Parking is horrific, as I was very lucky to find a spot an hour before the game near the old stadium and to the north of the new stadium. This was the Allen HS vs. Uuless Trinity playoff
game in December 2014 as I listened to us beating UConn on the radio for our win of the season.

Had to walk a quarter to half mile to a bridge over I35, and then a quarter to half mile to buy a
ticket at the north end of the stadium.
May the forth be with us.

•Best thing to do is to actually park on the Fouts Field press box side. (The entire east stadium side no longer exist). It’s where my group always parks.

• The main SMU Alums tailgating tent will be right at the foot of the Pedestrian Bridge on the Fouts Field side. Many visiting alums crossover & go to “The Hill” where you’d find a bohemian atmosphere of fans & students & live music & lots of shade trees.

• Would be wise for fans from Dallas to arrive no later than 4:30pm to 5:00pm for the 6:30 kickoff & should have no problem finding a good parking spot on the Fouts Field side.
Again, it’s where my group always parks & from where the SMU Alums tent will be near the Fouts side Pedestrian Bridge is a an easy 5 minute walk to the Apogee Stadium ticket office.

BOOMER SOONERS! Ever been to a game at Owen Field at OU? Now that is a hike. Other similar P5 school stadiums the same. When you have 80,000 fans showing up that would always be the case. I'll be glad when SMU & UNT both have that kind of problem. 8)
Most of us who like our college football like such environments for a game. Our Army game at Apogee last year was a blast. Army brought a big crowd to the game. Just makes it more fun.

:oops: We Baby Boomers probably need the walking exercise albeit I never considered that walk from Fouts over the Pedestrian Bride onto Apogee a long one.

I honestly believe a shuttle will be in UNT's future because the Pedestrian Bridge is extremely wide & could easily handle such.
