Load up your car, grab your green gear and head to Houston this weekend, Oct. 5-6, for a free spirit party and tailgating before the Mean Green takes on regional rivals the University of Houston on Saturday.
Members of the UNT community -- including faculty, staff, alumni, students, parents and prospective students who live in the Houston area or who travel to Houston -- are invited to kick off the weekend with food, a musical performance by alumnus Mat Slovacek and an appearance by Head Coach Dan McCarney at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 5 at the Houston Marriott South Hobby Airport, 9100 Gulf Freeway. Show your student I.D. for admission to the Friday event.
The following day, fans are invited to tailgate with other members of the Mean Green nation starting at 3 p.m. at Robertson Stadium, 3874 Holman St. in Houston. Meals will be available at the tailgating for $10 per person. Student tickets to the football game can be purchased at the gate or by calling the UH ticket office at 877-268-4275. The game starts at 6 p.m.
Both events are hosted by the university's Division of Advancement, Athletics, Office of Admissions and the UNT Alumni Association.
