You guys are crazy if you think people who would normally drive to Irving and pay NFL prices won't drive to Arlington. It's not THAT much farther. The Cowboys moving will have zero affect on SMU attendance.

The BIG difference LA is that outside of the Mavs and the Stars, SMU is the ONLY team that plays in Dallas.

When you factor in our ticket prices, there is no reason we can't succeed.

SMU actually plays in University Park, not Dallas.

Crap, there are only 23,000 people in UP. We'll never fill Ford.

A+

My point is that with 1M residents in Dallas, SMU's goal should be to attract 10k non-alumni who want to see a good product at a fair price.

The actual city of Dallas has barely over 1 million. But there is a huge SMU alumni population in the surrounding cities, esecially to the north, Richardson, Plano, Frisco, McKinney...

It would not be a probelm filling Ford Stadium if we wil 10 games a season.

Lets work on getting the stadium filled winning 7 or 8 games a year...

Gotta call BS on your rankings, SoCal.

No way Golf ranks below the Rangers, unless you mean a weekend of "Walker, Texas Ranger"?!?

Actually those are LA's rankings and I have no idea why Golf is included and Bowling is not.

Bowling would rank ahead of TCU, SMU or NTSU.

What about FC Dallas? In the 2007 season played 15 homes games with a total attendance of 227,182 or 15,145 per game. Many of its games were on football weekends. I know because my season tickets did not get used on some occasions because of SMU games. Say what you want, but soccer is growing in popularity in America and is here to stay. A very physical, skillful, athletic game. Very few can play at a high level.

What about the Scots? I don't care for them but they are well-publicized and in the Metroplex they're hated by everyone outside the Park Cities How many of you open the Saturday paper in the fall hoping to see that HP lost in football?
