On Friday, Southern Methodist University will announce plans to build a $100 million, three-tiered end zone complex on the south side of Ford Stadium, The Dallas Morning News reports.
The project was kick-started thanks to a $50 million donation from 1958 alumnus Garry Weber’s foundation. Weber’s gift, a part of the university’s $1.5 billion campaign “SMU Ignited: Boldly Shaping Tomorrow,” will mark the largest athletic department donation in school history.
