The last mystery was spotted by several. Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C. told us: “It is Gerald Ford Stadium at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. The stadium is named after Gerald J. Ford, a billionaire banker who provided most of the funding for its construction. Outside the northeast corner of the stadium is Doak Walker Plaza, honoring the former Heisman Trophy winner and SMU’s greatest football star.”
George Graf of Palmyra, Va. wrote: “Some famous SMU football players include Eric Dickerson, RB; Raymond Berry, WR; Forrest Gregg, OT/G; Doak Walker, RB/DB; Dandy Don Meredith, QB; and Kyle Rote, RB/WR.”
Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill: “I learned an interesting thing about SMU’s band shown in the mystery photo. I thought the band was interestingly dressed (not your typical band uniforms) and I found out the university’s band is considered to be the best dressed band in college football with more than 30 unique uniforms! How cool is that?!”

Others making the identification included D.H. Malcolm, Duluth; Matt Willis, Lawrenceville; Dan Mackaben, Crystal Lake, Ill.; Lou Camerio, Lilburn and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. The photo came from Chuck Paul of Norcross, who is a graduate of SMU.
