SMU made nearly $3 million in Ford Stadium improvements over the summer, including upgrades to the football locker room and team meeting rooms as well as a new playing surface.

The renovations include a new team meeting room with stadium-style seating as well as renovated positional meeting rooms. Changes to the locker room included the creation of a new team lounge, as well as new lockers, updated graphics and audio/visual equipment.

SMU also installed a state-of-the-art Mondoturf 3NX thermo-bonded ecofill artificial turf system. The Mondoturf field is manufactured by Mondo, the global leader in the sports flooring market.

It was around $800 K for the Mondoturf alone....am sure has a warranty and am sure will be replaced during the off-season, unfortunately this year the team will have to live with it. JJ has his 'factor' involved as always......$5 million for a field...c'mon now.

Whores shaking their behinds at the game would be a capital improvement as well. Will we see them for the Tulane game? And strippers would go well as a halftime show. Especially since we will soon have the Stripper Hall of Fame on campus (Bush Library).

End of attendence issues.

Yeah, your figures are much more in line. K-State just did theirs for $760K. I almost spit out my beer when I read we spent $5MM on turf.....almost.
