Ford is beautiful. SMU just needs to make the campus and gameday appealing to non-alumni in the area to come to the games and be welcomed on the boulevard. Especially families. Also needs to welcome the former athletes, cheerleaders, bandmembers, etc and their families with special sections on the boulevard for players from the different decades or coaching eras. Hayden Fry era, Ron Meyer era etc. Not just the top players but everyone.

That is what we should aim for...a new stadium better than BU and TCWho's

Alyssa?


No. I use my name. And a couple of my family names by blood and not by marriage can be found around the SMU campus. Of course, it's really not something anyone else reading this board needs to know but there seems to be some misunderstanding about it by many who think they know more than they really do.

Whoever "ghost" is is not me.

SMU football has many problems, but the stadium is not one of them. Not even close.

It doesn't need more seats. It doesn't need renovation. It's fine.

I didn't claim to know anything ...as you can see I included a question mark.

It's for the long term...if we plan for our program to be big time, we will need to have the stadium for a big time program. Won't happen next year, but 10 years from now Ford will need to be expanded
