SMU has been selected to host the College Cup in 2008. After hosting the event in 2002, the final four of collegiate soccer will return to Dallas.
The Mustangs are the only Division I men’s soccer program in the state of Texas and hold the only opportunity to bring the event to the Lone Star State.
SMU will host the College Cup with FC Dallas as a partner. The two-day event will take place at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco.
Pizza Hut Park General Manager Michael Hitchcock said that he would like to see Pizza Hut Park become a permanent site for the College Cup in comparison to the way that the College World Series is always held at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb.
Pizza Hut Park seats 21,193 fans and includes top locker room facilities and video scoreboards.
SMU also hosted the Women’s College Cup in 2001.
