The entire SMU student section was kicked out of Gerald J. Ford Stadium by police during the first half of SMU's 30-27 win over Memphis. The majority of students were not wearing masks and were grouped close together, according to Sam Blum of The Dallas Morning News.
The students were grouped on a grass hill behind the end zone when police officers instructed them to begin leaving near the end of the first half. It was unclear whether the police were acting at the instruction of the school or if the police department was making its own decision.
