I have never thought to notice.
the tunnel is probably about 100 to 150 feet. The SMU locker room as a door that put them right at the entrance. The visitors walk down a couple flights of stairs and then down a hallway to the tunnel entrance.

Thanks. Any guess as to how wide the tunnel is? At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

9 1/2 feet. I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

The tunnel is cut in half during the games. Standing down on the field, the visiting team enters on the right half, and SMU enters on the left half. The tunnel is probably 40 yards long and T-bones at the end. To the left is the home locker room, to the right is the visitors/refs locker rooms. Going right, you can also make another turn and head to all the meeting rooms for the football team.

Not sure it helps, but here is a picture of the tunnel when Ford Stadium was being built.
I would guess it is between 12-18 feet wide?

I think you are right, closer to your upper end. I remember standing there during the UCF game thanking him for being our coach

Perfect response. Thank you At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
