However, the Mustangs will not take the field in Gerald J. Ford Stadium for either of these high-profile SEC matchups. SMU moved both of these contests to AT&T Stadium in Arlington which has considerable attendance advantages over its campus stadium (33,200 capacity at Ford Stadium vs. 80,000 at AT&T Stadium). The Mustangs have never played at AT&T Stadium since the venue opened in 2009; however, Oklahoma has suited up eight times, while LSU has played four games in the iconic venue. SMU regularly used the Dallas Cowboys’ old stadium — Texas Stadium — as its home venue from 1979-86.

Prior to Symons’ arrival in Dallas, SMU was renowned for struggling defenses, finishing 75th or worse in scoring defense each season from 2013-21, ranking 110th or below six times in that 9-year span.
