I am from the old SWC days and SMU moving the games back to campus to me was the best thing they ever did. The stadium is very nice for a mid major type school. Fans, what little there are as Tech and other BIG 12 schools take over the stadium, are not very engaged and are a bit cocky to have not had much success vs the big boys.
There isn't a big college atmosphere as SMU is usually outnumbered by bigger schools and seem to be more interested in partying on the blvd than supporting their team. Many leave early and never come back.
Will be at Jones AT&T stadium EAST with thousands of my red and black clad friends come Aug 30th, 2013 when Tech plays SMU. I am sure Tech will help make yet another "record" crowd for SMU.
