"UNT has filled out its nonconference schedule by hosting a team from the Football Championship Subdivision in three of its five years in Apogee. UNT will play Bethune-Cookman, another team from the lower FCS ranks, this fall.

Those games against FCS programs haven’t sparked the interest of UNT fans.

“Rick [Villarreal] told everyone that we were going to bring in better opponents and have better scheduling when we opened Apogee,” McKinney said. “That never happened.”"

 

This, combined with practically a decade of losing, is what has fractured our fan base. Don't know why the university need to hire people to tell them that.

Fill up the student side by having  local bands play after the games.

They would do it cheap just to get their names out there.

What's not to like about a good garage band?

Terrible idea, you can go to Fry Street or the square to watch local bands.

So that's where they've been on game day.  

You mean after the game and we also have Rockin Rodeo walking distance from the stadium.

George Dunham has garage band, I know UNT90 would go watch him play after the game.

Here you go casual fan, don't get too excited your toostie roll might be popping out after watching this.

See the reactions of the crowd and other fans after the Nichols State game, LOSING is has far more to do with the discontent than playing FCS teams. If we are winning most games, especially at home, the crowds will improve. 

We really, really need some wins. I don't see a lot coming this year, but I hope it's more than one.

I got it guys. Fill up the season ticket side of the stadium by offering up a fireworks show after every single game.

You're welcome.

Nothing gave me a reason to live like the fireworks of shame over at Fouts.

I'm guessing Aldo wasn't around when RV had fireworks after every game (at Fouts).  Not only was it depressing for the fans (other than the little kids) since we were losing almost every game, but if I remember correctly, they were being shot off from the roof of the locker room building, traumatizing the players (ours, not the opponents).
