It's homecoming weekend on the Hilltop as SMU takes on Cincinnati Saturday afternoon at Ford Stadium in front of what's expected to be a sellout crowd, and school officials are promising an improved fan experience.

On a recent social media post, SMU athletics announced concessions vendor Aramark has more than doubled their staff for the game tomorrow and have agreed to adjust that number as the season continues based on individual attendance.

You may remember fans at TCU vs SMU rivalry game back on September 24th say they experienced impossibly long lines, food shortages and even a lack of shade. And these hardly seem to be isolated occurrences.

Websites like Yelp and Trip Advisor were littered with one or two star reviews that mention these same problems at the stadium dating back to 2014.

The recent post by the school says they're preparting to not have any food shortages by asking vendors to order more before the gates open.

Kickoff between Cincinnati and SMU is set for Saturday at 11:00 a.m.
