“Cheer Up” filming scheduled this weekend
in Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium

Filming for a scene in the motion picture “Cheer Up” is scheduled for Saturday, Sunday and Monday (Nov. 22, 23 and 24) in Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium at The University of Texas at Austin.

The filming from about sunrise until late afternoon each of those days will involve about 3,000 “extras” bused in from an off-site parking location. The stadium is one of several landmarks on the campus expected to be shown in the action comedy starring Tommy Lee Jones.

Equipment vehicles for the production will use some parking spaces near the corner of San Jacinto and 23rd streets during that period.

“Cheer Up” also plans to film scenes at the university’s South Mall area during the Thanksgiving holiday period when there is minimal pedestrian and vehicle traffic on campus.
