Cons
Poor attendance when team losing, overpriced concessions

When have we been winning?

that's a fairly positive and also accurate review.

Agreed, at least from my experience.

One point where I disagree and the only grip I have about the stadium:
"the crystal clear sound system provides a high-tech multimedia experience"

The sound system always seems muddy to me and frequently too loud with hip-hop type music. :shock:

Totally agree PonyGrad.

The stadium is sunken below street level, otherwise, you would be able to see the passing traffic on Mockingbird Drive. This is one feature that was preserved from the original Ownby Stadium.

...I don't recall Ownby being sunken below street level...

And, yes...the PA system at Ford sucks.

It wasn't. This article was written in Nov. 2000 and although favorable in the most part, the writer was not totally familiar with SMU history.

Thanks, PK. For a second I thought I was being gaslighted. And congrats on 4,000 posts on pf.com!

Unfortunately for some I think the hip hop rap style music is not only what excites the football players but also what gets the student crowd going as well...Understandably, it doesn't always appeal to the rest of the stadium spectators

I actually like it although I don't otherwise listen to rap...what is the name of the song they play at the kickoff?

I think you're talking about T.I. and Young Dro's Shoulda Lean...that seems to always do the trick for the football team.

by **PonyLove** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 9:31 pm

That's it, thanks!

No problem. Just for the record, they also played Red Hot Chili Pepper's Snow (Hey Oh) after the red/blue game...that would never do at an actual game
