Gerald
Ford Stadium
Dallas, TX
Built for the Southern
Methodist University Mustangs, Gerald Ford Stadium is the newest
stadium in the WAC Conference. In the mid 1990’s talk began on the
possibility of building a new football stadium. By 1997 talk became a
reality when construction began on a new football facility.
Contributions from many individuals helped in construction of the
stadium, and it was named after one of the donors and Dallas
businessman
Gerald Ford.

The Mustangs made their debut at the stadium on September
2, 2000 against Kansas. The stadium has a seating capacity of 32,000
in one tier in a horseshow configuration. The south endzone is open.
The playing field is 25 feet below street level to allow easier access
to the seats and so the stadium is not so imposing on its
surroundings. Gerald Ford Stadium has several amenities including 600
club seats and 24 luxury suites. In the future the stadium may be
expanded as it was built to be able to be expandable to seat 45,000
fans. |
