IN OTHER ACTION

The University of North Texas Board of Regents also took the following action in Thursday’s meeting:

* approved $1 million for the Interstate 35E pedestrian overpass bridge

* authorized selection of an architect for the University Union expansion

* adopted the UNT Discovery Park master plan

* increased the $10 million budget for the science research building renovation by $2 million

That's a hefty pricetag for a walkway. Any naming ideas for it?

Mean Green Walk-way

Hayden Fry Highway Flyway :rolleyes:

We need to do something cool on this bridge before every game. Something that will make ESPN's Gameday crew show it on national TV.

I've heard maybe having the Mean Green March across it; that would be interesting.

Good to see everything falling in place in Mean Green Country.

What next? Indoor practice facillity that a sudden cell burst cannot tear down?:rolleyes:

Our entire athletic plant with even more real estate for expansion would be the envy of many out there, even among some at the next level I'd wager.

How about some sort of animal sacrafice prior to each game? So if we were playing Houston for instance, we would throw a cougar off the middle of the bridge. In order to avoid the wrath of PETA, we could throw Demi Moore off the bridge instead of an actual mountian lion.

I totally agree the next thing we need is an indoor practice facility and that way in the winter

after football the other sports could also practice there when the weather is bad. I live in

Waco and Baylor pushes that off on all of their recruits about their indoor facility.

This is the bridge we need. There are many over I-25 south of Denver. All are green.

We can call it the "moon walk."

The million dollar bridge, constructed from a papier-mâché of 10,000 hundred dollar bills was deemed too wrinkled for general use.

I kid, I kid!

I was thinking we could be both Unique...and Economical in the same swoop. We could use our savings on this project to buy helmet stickers, new shoes...and all sorts of stuff.

That would no doubt be LEED certified.

Now we all know the moon isn't made of green cheese...

Hey... but if it were, would you eat it? And doesn't this thread belong in the bridge and tunnel forum? tongue.gif I'm just saying is all.

That's similar to the bridges over the Southwest Freeway in the Montrose area of Houston:

Graustark Bridge over US-59

Although there are no vehicles in the picture, these bridges aren't just for pedestrians.

Are we sure the bridge wouldn't just go to Dallas?

Damn! Beat me to it.

I'll chip in $5 to get it named the GOMEANGREEN.COM Walkway. Who's with me?

I'm in

Is this bridge going to be off limits for Denia residents?

They can use it, just charge them.
