I know this has been mentioned before but you guys REALLY need to go in there and check out their selection of NT stuff.  This isn't your typical four or five items on a shelf next to the UT display...this place gives the campus book store a run for its money.  I found stuff for me, my wife, and all three kids in there.

We have tried to beg, shame or extort businesses (especially local ones) into carrying North Texas stuff for years.  Let's put our money where our mouths are and patronize a place that's doing it right.

Checked the website for NT Apparel at Academy but there is not much there. It is nice but I was expecting a little more like more button down shirts with NT logos.

They barely carry any team items that are button down shirts.  It is Academy not Nordstrom.

Your right, I was only once at the NT Bookstore  back in 2013 and I guess I was expecting more merchandise. But I will stop at Academy, there prices for cotton shirt are at descent prices.

I knew someone was going to grab that thing. If I didn't already have a tent...

lol. I was tentless, so I had to have one to keep the kid out of the sun. At least, that's what I keep telling the wife.

When I still worked for the AD, I went by their pop up trailer before they opened to drop off posters. They had UNT hats, shirts, chairs, flags decorating the office.

They told me they wanted to treat that Denton Academy the same way that they treat their College Station one or whatever--90% local team gear. But they did say it was a test run. Glad to see it paid off for them in the end. 

I believe that the GM or someone in administration is UNT, as well. Not sure on that but I feel like they told me that.

They have a better collection of Nike gear and other random accessories than B&N. I'm heading up for work Thursday and I'm stopping in to buy a new shirt.

Now compare that to Sports Authority which has NO UNT gear or Hibbett has like one shirt from four years ago. Lids @ Golden has a good selection of UNT hats, too. Custom ones, which means that someone at that store cares.

Essentially, Academy & Lids, not Sports or Hibbett. Surprisingly WalMart (both of em) too.

Patronize these guys, y'all.

Denton Sports Authority... THE NUMBER ONE DESTINATION FOR UT AND OU T-SHIRT FANS.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      The raised floor at Williams Arena, also known as "the Barn" in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was designed to improve sightlines for fans and create a buffer zone between the court and the fans: Better view: The raised floor allows fans to see more of the action on the court. Buffer zone: The raised floor creates a separation between the fans and the court. Historic feature: The raised floor is one of the few remaining in the United States and contributes to the arena's historic feel. Unique feature: The raised floor makes Williams Arena different from other arenas and memorable for visitors. The raised floor is about two feet above the ground, which means that the first row of seats are below the court and fans are roughly at the players' knee level. Only head coaches are allowed on the court during play, except for officials and players who are actively playing. Williams Arena is one of the oldest basketball arenas in the country, having opened in 1928. The arena is home to the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team, which competes in the Big Ten Conference. It used to also house indoor football practice, tennis, indoor track, and hockey. The building was remodeled in 1950. Renamed in honor of Dr. Henry L. Williams, U of M football coach from 1900 to 1921, it was divided into a hockey arena on one end and a basketball arena with a seating capacity of 18,025 on the other. From 1950 until 1971, it had the largest capacity of any collegiate basketball arena in the country. More interesting history of "The Barn" are here... https://gophersports.com/sports/2018/5/21/facilities-williams-arena-html

      A real quick check via google can tell you that NT's defense is top 5 in the nation. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/146 While on google, one could also see that NT's pace-of-play is bottom 10 in the nation. https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/possessions-per-game ERGO... Teams are going to score much less than they normally do against us, and it's going to frustrate the heck out of their fans if they don't know anything about us except that we're "a good mid-major".

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Even though I think we should win this game by two touchdowns, This games got me nervous. Hope our offense will be coming out pissed off from getting shut down offensively last week and lay it on em.
