my gut feeling is the new student party deck or whatever its called in the north end zone is a mistake. yes i mentioned something like it may work...but to me it appears to be a "trying too hard" attempt. A for effort, but it splits the already small students attending games...i don't have the answers but I do think the big white terrace is not it.

Is this as screwed up as the Mob points or something? Wouldn't be surprising.

Student "the stables" area is cool. I hear it's hard to see if you're not at the rails but not much you can do about that.

Internet was great today. I was actually able to get cell & data service which is rare in past seasons.

Love the dunkin donuts coffees and cheaper priced concessions.

Entrance was a breeze.

Repetitive Chief Keef instrumentals during drives are cool in my book :) Equally legit to the Halloween theme music used by Cincinnati.

Move all official greek tailgating to the area around the Doak statue, and use street blockades to surround and funnel students into Ford Stadium via their own, special, easy-entry gate (Gate 2?). Greeks already have to get wristband ID'd in order to drink at their tents, the same wrist-band showing grants access to special patio area. All non-wristband students shunted left into the general student seats. Along the way, non-wristband students are given bam-sticks, flags, t-shirts, whatever to get the student stands rocking. Partition off the non-wristband student section from General Seating as well so that it too feels "special". Everything taken care of from the student-end.

Why do you have to be 21 for the stables? Free beer patio?

As an aside, how old do I have to be to smoke weed or eat kratom?

Tomorrow for instance, keep the umbrellas out. I almost got in a fight with a person who had one draining water on me and blocking my view a couple of years ago. Ponchos or other types of rain gear are much better for watching in the rain.

Also many people pay high dollars to buy seats in good sections and their is no monitoring so once the game starts the cheap seaters move in and take over. And for those that say that does not matter when the stands are empty, that just means you are not paying the extra for those seats. I bet not just anyone can wander into the club seating. My money is just as dear to me as the high rollers.


Opportunity exists to sell cheap disposable ponchos...with SMU logo and/or colors I might add


Just make sure the color doesn't match the color of the seats! Don't need any more help making the seats look empty!

I like the SMU band music. Play it often I know we need some speaker music but live band music says live football to me.

Everyone was confused why fans aren’t allowed on field after visiting team exits. Is there a new conference rule?
