How to Boulevard: SMU’s First Fall 2022 Home Game on Sept. 10

At SMU we don’t tailgate we Boulevard, here are some tips for surviving the first boulevard of the season.

Plan Your Outfit: Whoever said you can’t wear white after labor day has never been to an SMU football game. The first game of the season is a whiteout so boys put on your best polos and girls put on your trendiest fit. White or red cowboy boots are also a necessity.

Brunch Reservations: Brunch is an absolute must-have before boulevarding and reservations are essential. Some SMU favorites include; Bistro 31, Zikizis, Beverly’s, Sundown at Granada, Knox Bistro, Chelsea’s Corner, and Henry’s Majestic. If you are still hunting for that sought-after reservation a tip is to turn on restaurants notifications on Resy or OpenTable

Prep for the Heat: The Texas heat is not made for the weak and is no joke. This Saturday the high is 91 degrees meaning hydration and sunscreen are essential. Wearing sunglasses and waterproof makeup are a must.

Other Key Tips: Boulevarding is the perfect opportunity to mingle so have some fun and meet new people! At the game, all the students sit on top of the big hill…although it may be tempting don’t roll down the hill or try to jump onto the field, you will be escorted out.
