Tickets

DALLAS (SMU) – As part of their ongoing efforts to engage with one another, SMU Athletics will offer free game tickets to City of Dallas employees and First-Responders for the final two regular season home football games.
 
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and SMU Director of Athletics Rick Hart discussed the idea at the Tulane game, and their staffs quickly went to work to develop the promotion.
 
"SMU football games bring our Dallas communities together," said Johnson. "We value our city's strong partnership with SMU, and we are thrilled that our public servants will have the opportunity to cheer on their city's college football team during the final home games of this terrific season."
 
"As Dallas' college football team, we greatly appreciate the city's and the Mayor's efforts to continue to build connections," said Hart. "It will be our pleasure to welcome City of Dallas employees and First-Responders for these games, and we will keep looking for new ways to deepen our connection to Dallas."
 
Over the past few seasons, SMU's partnership with the City of Dallas has been strengthened through community service and the "Born and Raised" and Triple-D/Pony marketing initiatives. SMU football added blue Dallas-themed jerseys to its rotation in 2021, which highlight some of the same features as the white jerseys, which debuted in 2019.
 
Ranked among the Top 20% of best national universities by U.S. News and World Report, SMU is the only NCAA FBS program in Dallas, Texas, a top-5 media market. Since 2013, SMU has invested more than $150 million in athletics facilities, 12 of 17 programs have won at least one conference championship and 16 programs have made the postseason.
