Gerald J. Ford Stadium Not Ready For Football Fans

A hot sun beamed down on the turf of Ford stadium during the Sept. 24 football game against the TCU Horned Frogs, one of SMU’s biggest rivalries. The intense 99 degree heat in the sun-drenched stands was just one of the issues fans contended with. The game also saw record crowds, congested parking, and crowded hallways.

What might take a student two minutes to walk from one end of the stadium to the other took 10 as bathroom lines were intertwined with concession lines causing even more confusion for individuals in attendance.

Can you spell disorder?

“The concession area was really packed,” said Imani Holmes an SMU senior studying biology with a minor in math.
