Will We Expand Ford?

Jumping the gun but I know on the SMU2BCS site there were renderings of an expanded Ford. Would we do this if we go Big East? I'm not sure it's warranted.

Not yet

We play UCF, a future BE mate. Where will we put all the extra fans today? No need to expand.

Nothing like unfunded construction to play in a big empty stadium...

I miss the empty Cotton Bowl, especially during the Fair.

Why would we?

Because if you are recruiting BCS level athletes they are going to compare your stadium to other BCS level programs

How about a full stadium an IPF, instead of a giant empty stadium and no IPF.

Stallion · Post by **Stallion** » Sat Oct 15, 2011 12:22 pm

how about both. Sources say we already got the IPF in the pipeline.

have to expand to play big boy football; I would live to see the oval completed but also see more suites on the east side; I really don't see us having the demand (or parking) for upper deck. Will still need another parking garage to satisfy HP requirements but maybe the Bush Library will help on that issue?

Which Big East teams are going to help us fill up Ford? Didn't look like UCF brought thousands of fans with them today.

Yes, and it is sickening to see the huge sections of empty stands. This team deserves better than this weak fan support.
