We Can't Wait to See You Under the Friday Night Lights
Friday, Oct. 17, 2025 | SMU Armstrong Field House
The Good Shepherd Parents’ Organization is suiting up for our first-ever fall auction, Friday Night Lights—a laid-back, tailgate-inspired evening where every guest is part of the home team. We’re talking fabulous auction items, signature cocktails, a winning dinner lineup, fun and games, and a pre-game concert from the incredible Diamond West Band.
Every play we make that night supports the Fit For Our Future comprehensive campaign, helping us outfit our brand-new gym so our Cougars can keep scoring big for years to come.
7 p.m. | Doors Open: Food, Band, Games, Tailgate Fun
9 p.m. | Auction Kickoff
11 p.m. | Final Whistle
The Location: A Championship Field
We’re taking the game to Armstrong Fieldhouse, the crown jewel of SMU athletics on Bishop Boulevard. Home to an indoor turf football practice field, top-tier training facilities, and MustangVision Studios, this venue sets the stage for an unforgettable night under the lights.

The Fit: Tailgate Chic
This is your chance to channel your inner pep rally. Break out an old cheer uniform, rock a letter jacket, throw on your favorite jersey, or show up in your best tailgate gear. Casual. Comfortable. Game-ready. The goal? Have fun and bring your Friday Night Lights spirit.

The Entertainment: A Pregame Show You'll Never Forget
Get ready to boot, scoot, and bid for a great cause! The Diamond West Band will keep the energy high with 90’s country classics and dance floor favorites, guaranteeing a night that scores big from kickoff to the final whistle.
