Great find Flyer! I wonder why they keep the west stands?

The drawing says the track must also be protected. Looks like this is our track facility for at least a few more years.

They'll keep it for track & field purposes until facilities are constructed at Eagle Point.

See again: these slides from the Master Planning presentations recently.

The demolition of those portions of the stands are within the 1-5 Phase (i.e. now) to make room for the visitor's center and such, and the track facilities across the highway will come sometime later. Edited by Christopher Walker

Knowing UNT's track record, I wouldn't be surprised if the deconstruction crew gets the names mixed up and Apogee is demolished instead.

Not sure if lacking context, or just needed to fill troll quota for the day...

Knowing my track record, I wouldn't be surprised if the construction worker from the Village People gets the addresses mixed up and my virginity is demolished instead.

Knowing your track record, you don't have contact with girls. Sorry champ, Internet girlfriends don't count.

I live in my mom's basement and I creep people out in person. I have no friends so I am an Internet troll. I like meatloaf. I went to UNT because I like the singer meatloaf and the actual meatloaf as well. However, in Denton I cried a lot because I missed mom's meatloaf and the security of her basement. Will someone here be my bff? I am so lonely. Seriously, so lonely.

This is what I read between the lines.

Knowing mom's track record, I wouldn't be surprised if there's another strange man in our house. Good thing I sound proofed the basement.

On a related note, I hear Lennay Kekua has a new boyfriend.

When Booger ran that fumble back for a touchdown in the 03 Baylor game I thought it would fall down....

Check out the drawing, it looks to me that the north, east, and south stands will all go away.

1.1 Specifications Scope of Work

The scope of work of this RFCSP is for the partial demolition of Fouts Field Stadium

A set of the 100% Construction Documents and Specification has been included (Attachment C) for use in preparation of the proposal.

Contractor must be on site to begin demolition NO LATER THAN June 17, 2013

If they use explosives to bring it down, it would only be right if you were the one to set off the charge. You earned at least that much.

Does that say "existing scoreboard to be demolished"?

Yes, that is the old north endzone scoreboard that barely worked anyway. The large Daktronics board in the south endzone is too remain.

Did they ever remove the relief portrayls? And if not, were they still planning on it before the demolition (or is it impossible)?

I was wondering the same thing. i remember that there was some discussion about taking those down and using them in the construction of the new stadium. Because some people thought the each relief represented some actual NT events, but it turns out that they were just generic representations.

But even if they were/are generic, they represent the only part of the Fouts field structure that looked half way classy, and ought to be preserved and/or auctioned off.

I sure would like to snag a brick from that ol' battle axe when they drive a wrecking ball in to the side of it. Anyone know if that can happen or will they sell them off?

I would imagine that everything possible will be sold to boost revenue, and if not, then it needs to be re-thought. Sell the crappy scoreboard, bricks to alums, whatever. I know Fouts was crappy, falling apart, and outdated, but I have tons of great memories of it and hope to wander a bit there while it's still being used for track.
