Official release about UCF game........

Post by PonySnob »

Game On - And Everyone Is Invited!
SMU Hosts UCF At 11 a.m. As Scheduled; All Fans Receive Complimentary Admission!

Dec. 6, 2013

DALLAS (SMU) - SMU will host No. 15 UCF on Saturday, Dec. 7, for an 11 a.m. football game at Gerald J. Ford Stadium as scheduled and everyone is invited, as the game is now open to the public with tickets not required. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.

Due to the inclement weather in DFW, there will be additional adjustments from a traditional SMU gameday. These changes include:

For safety reasons, The Boulevard will be closed due to ice and fallen limbs along Bishop Boulevard.
Fans should enter campus via SMU Boulevard.
While credentialed lots will be open and operate as usual, all other usual "cash" lots will be open and free to the public. Signage near campus will direct fans to parking areas.
Fans should enter Ford Stadium via the gates on the west side (Gates 1, 2 & 3).
Gates will open at 9:30 a.m.
Only the west side of Ford Stadium (sections 100-108 & 200-208) will be open for fans, allowing SMU to treat the steps and seats for fan safety and comfort. Please note: While all fans will receive complimentary admission, season ticket holders and other fans who purchased tickets for the game will have first right to their reserved seats. All other seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Suites, Stadium Club and Hall of Champions Club seating will operate as normal.
Discounted hot chocolate and coffee will be available at the concession stands.

Crazy. THIS is what we get to showcase on ESPN?!? An empty stadium, a game we get killed in, and a game where the players should be on ice skates wearing parkhas. Nobody wants to see this. Just ugly all the way around.

There is a segment of viewers who love to watch football played under extreme conditions. I'm one of them. It might be fun.

Come On Man.

If one is going to sit out in 19 degree weather to watch this team.... WE NEED TAILGATE TIME. I spent today cooking to help keep my crew warm during the game.

I kind of understand because I see a lot of tree limbs down.

They're doing everything they can. I doubt ESPN will just let them postpone the game with no financial consequences. Free admission, free parking, hot drinks... What else can they do?
