Stampeding to the future

Fueled by ongoing support from generous donors to SMU Ignited: Boldly Shaping Tomorrow, the construction of the Garry Weber End Zone Complex is making steady progress after its groundbreaking celebration on December 2, 2022. Made possible by the largest gift in the history of SMU Athletics and other principal gift commitments, the project is now in its third fundraising phase, seeking gifts of all sizes in pursuit of the remaining $20 million needed to complete the three-level, 192,500-square-foot expansion of Gerald J. Ford Stadium. Through these gifts, the Garry Weber End Zone Complex will launch a new era for athletic excellence at SMU by supporting its student-athletes and offering premier opportunities for its Mustang fans.

Anchoring Ford Stadium’s south bowl and connecting its existing east and west gate entries, the Garry Weber End Zone Complex will increase the functionality, efficiency and overall experience of Mustang football for student-athletes and fans. With three levels of public and private spaces, the new complex will support SMU's 484 student athletes and house team coaches, staff and recruiting services. Additionally, the new complex will offer fans and visitors premium experiences, improved pedestrian accessibility and expanded guest facilities.
