Gerald J. Ford Stadium is the on-campus football stadium for Southern Methodist University in the Dallas area of Texas. It serves as the home venue for SMU Mustangs football and university athletic events.

The stadium is a modern collegiate facility with a seating bowl, spectator amenities and press and hospitality suites designed for college football game days. It is primarily used for SMU home games, student and alumni events, and occasional special sporting events.

Named for a principal benefactor, the stadium was built to replace earlier on-campus facilities and to provide a dedicated home stadium for the university’s football program. It is maintained by the university and used year-round for campus athletics and events.

The stadium sits on SMU’s campus in the University Park area of Dallas, within the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan region.

• Seating capacity: Permanent seating capacity is about 32,000, configured primarily for NCAA college football and university events.

The stadium is on the SMU campus in University Park/Dallas. From downtown Dallas, take local roads (e.g., US-75 north to Mockingbird Lane exit) or use ride-share options; parking and event-day traffic maps are on the SMU athletics website.

• If attending a game, arrive early to avoid congestion and to enjoy campus tailgate energy.
• Check SMU's official athletics site for parking maps and gate opening times for specific events.
• Public transit options are limited; plan a ride-share or campus parking in advance on big game days.
