Re: Ford and the IPF
Would love another layer of suites...maybe slightly more affordable with opening windows...

Re: Ford and the IPF
We need to get people out of the stuffy suites and out into the bleachers to enjoy the real college atmosphere.

Also, regarding the IPF that is allegedly in the works, do you think BE inclusion will change the plans and afford a nicer facility than what may have been built as a CUSA team?
I ask both not only from being in a position of new resources, but having to measure up to a higher level of expectations as well (from recruits, fans, etc.).
there are already discussions going on regarding adding additional suites. 2ndandlong can elaborate.
Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally

Stadium club is fun plus you can keep drinking. I may never watch another SMU game from the stands.
Back off Warchild seriously.

Re: Ford and the IPF
Maybe we should add a dome and make Ford the indoor facility and move back to the cotton bowl.

There were some discussions, but there are no concrete plans. I think their view currently is that we have some underutilized space and a waiting list for suites. Can't elaborate beyond that.
Here's what I can elaborate on. The money and blueprints to expand Ford already exist. Turner has said as soon as we have demand to sellout Ford for a season, we'll do it.
