 Can they cover it and make it 100 yds? Man that sounds expensive!

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

That is awesome!  Way to reward those soccer girls who have been working their butts off and being one of the only consistent (scholarship'd) teams on campus.

[Cr1028]

Diggin it. Nice job Wren.

[Travis]

I am really curious how this will all look. 

[UNT Mean Green]

Great news! Obviously that's an initial peek into the new facilities Master Plan, where track & soccer will move to the East / South side of Bonnie Brae.

The "UNT System Markup" always adds a nice 20%+ cost to these construction projects. Absolute joke...

But he isn't doing anything.  Seriously, this is great news. Both of these programs could step up to the next level with the improved facilities. Coaches Hedlund and Sheffield really deserve this. Two excellent coaches.

Could the land housing the current soccer stadium house the new IPF?

[Wag Tag]

I had thought an IPF in the $10m range? I guess it could be closer to $15 or more? Congrats to all!

It's past time our women's soccer team took the next step, IMO. We shouldn't be satisfied with just winning our conference anymore.

Yeah.

Also,  why on earth did you extend Hedlund?  The guy clearly cannot get his team over the hump.

[BTG_Fan1]

I do like turning the venue into a multi-sport/ multiple use facility as well.

Another question, where does soccer and track teams have their offices?

Would be great if WB and NS did a presentation of what everything would/will hopefully look like and where it all will be, along with an idea for when stuff would be built.

I thought, track offices used to be housed in Fouts and what is left of it. Soccer is just behind the current soccer stadium.across from the DD practice field.

I have no idea where, lol but those seem like logical spots. Just didn't know if they had anyone in the offices by/ overlooking Apogee.

No, those are severely undersized just to handle administration and football.

That's actually not a bad idea. 

[untcampbell]

That land is also known as the venue where one of my favorite gomeangreen.com bowl games was played.

I wish I could say that about any other NT sport.

 

[mgsteve]

Track offices are in the old Football offices at Fouts.

[TheWestie]

Yep, track offices and locker room are the old football locker room. With Dickey-era logos still intact.

[untbowler]

tennis for the longest times had coaches office under Fouts as well, well at least in the early 2000's
