Where is Ford Stadium?

Post by HPPony »

Is Ford Stadium in University Park or Highland Park? Anybody know for sure? The city of Dallas doesn't lay any claim to the property, does it?

The only building in the SMU area that can lay claim to being in both University Park & Highland Park is Highland Park United Methodist Church, at the intersection of Mockingbird Lane and Hillcrest Avenue. Several years ago when the church was going thru a massive remodeling/capital improvements campaign, the minister had to go before BOTH city councils to discuss what was being done and to get approval.

The buildings at HPUMC, including the Sanctuary, are in Highland
Park. University Park starts 4 feet after you walk out of the Wallace
building doors or the CDP doors. Highland Park is who will come if they call 911. (Source: Samantha Cheek at the church)
