SMU to Play Oklahoma, LSU at Jerry World, University Says
SMU moves two key home games to a larger venue for branding and revenue with the 2029 LSU game at 80,000-capacity AT&T Stadium, doubling usual attendance capacity.
- Southern Methodist University is relocating its home games against Oklahoma in 2027 and LSU in 2029 to AT&T Stadium, announced Thursday, February 12, 2026.
- The program said the moves were made for "branding and revenue opportunities," aiming to grow the program after recent success under head coach Rhett Lashlee and ACC membership.
- Moving to an 80,000-capacity arena reconnects SMU with its historical ties to Cowboys venues, last used in the early 1980s, and surpasses Gerald J. Ford Stadium's 33,200 seats.
- SMU added that ticketing and kickoff schedules will be announced later, and Damon Evans, SMU Director of Athletics, said the move `reflects both where SMU Football has been and where it is going`.
- LSU Tigers football has played multiple neutral-site openers including Joe Burrow's 2018 start at AT&T Stadium, and SMU and LSU have a home-and-home series in 2028 and 2029.
