Fall in the Park Cities brings crisp mornings, changing leaves, and the return of one of the community’s most beloved traditions—SMU football. As alumni, students, and Mustang fans alike circle home game weekends on their calendars, one local hotel is redefining what it means to stay close to the action. Just minutes from campus, The Beeman Hotel offers more than convenience; it offers a celebratory experience from check-in to checkout.
“We’re just minutes from SMU, with a fun, stylish atmosphere that makes game weekends feel like a celebration,” says a representative from The Beeman. “We offer room packages to create VIP experiences for guests, as well as fun events throughout the home game weekend.”
That proximity is a game changer, literally. With Gerald J. Ford Stadium less than five minutes away, fans can walk or rideshare to the game with ease. “Being so close to campus means you can skip the traffic and focus on the fun,” the hotel says. “You’ll have more time to enjoy tailgates, cheer on the Mustangs, and celebrate with fellow fans.”
Sports enthusiasts will especially appreciate The Beeman’s Pony Express Package, which includes a Game Day Welcome Amenity, valet parking, breakfast for two, and a late checkout—ideal for a relaxing Sunday after a Saturday night win.
But what truly sets The Beeman apart is how it infuses local culture into every aspect. “With bold, eclectic design and a distinctively local vibe, The Beeman is more than a place to stay—it’s part of your Dallas experience,” the hotel notes.
From live music in the buzzing lobby bar to pop-ups with local vendors and spirited bar takeovers, there’s always something happening on-site to elevate the energy of game weekends. Plus, The Beeman’s spacious rooms, indoor pool, and lively atmosphere make it a natural hub for friends, family, and fans to gather.
And when hunger strikes, Seely’s Mill, The Beeman’s on-site restaurant, serves up the flavors of Texas with modern BBQ, hearty Southern favorites, and craft cocktails. “It’s a casual, welcoming spot to gather before the game or toast to a big win afterward,” the hotel says.
Looking ahead, The Beeman plans to go even bigger this football season. Think exclusive SMU-themed merchandise, lobby appearances from the band and mascot, and curated events that capture the pride of Mustang Nation.
Whether you’re hosting out-of-town guests or planning your own game day getaway, The Beeman Hotel is the ultimate home base for fall football weekends in the Park Cities. Just don’t be surprised if staying there becomes part of your new SMU tradition.
