About this event
California visits SMU at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas on Saturday, October 24, 2026, with kickoff still TBD on the official Mustangs athletics schedule and ACC early-TV windows. Ownby Drive, Bishop Boulevard, and the campus lot ring around Ford Stadium fill for this ACC home date whenever TV locks the clock. Tailgate and pregame food demand build along Ownby and Mockingbird Lane approaches hours before gates, then egress piles onto US 75 connectors, Mockingbird, and rideshare curb after the final whistle. Operators on the Gerald J. Ford Stadium approaches see the densest snack demand from afternoon setup through the walkout.
