was clearly the highlight of the Mustangs 2022 schedule. The fan turnout for the game is expected to match it.
On SMU’s official website there aren’t any available tickets for Saturday’s Battle for the Iron Skillet. In addition, the cheapest tickets on secondary markets are going for at least $150 a pop as of Monday morning and were climbing. For perspective: tickets for SMU’s next home game against Navy on Oct. 14 are currently available for as low as $18 each on StubHub.The turnout could also threaten multiple stadium attendance records. The current attendance record for Ford Stadium was the 2010 Armed Forces Bowl between SMU and Army. A total of 36,742 were at Ford Stadium that day. The previous record was the 2010 Battle for the Iron Skillet.
In addition, SMU also set a record for student attendance at the last home game against Lamar with 4,435. Whether attendance records are set or not, it’s clear there’s plenty of interest in the latest iteration of the Battle for the Iron Skillet. This much is also clear: if any fans want a ticket, they should probably secure one fast.
