AD is finalizing the IPF.

1. It will be 120yd football field

2. The clear ht will not be there for kicking..to $$$

3. It will go on the second outdoor practice field that is on the backside.

4. A structure will be built to expand the current offices and facilities and the IPF will be connected. The view from the road will be amazing!

Not gonna lie, Harry. With our history, the whole Facility-X-is-gonna-be-a-game-changer/recruitment-tool-for-us mantra is lost on me.

It is AMAZING to see what common sense, forward thinking and initative have accomplished in such a short time.  I pray that we can keep Wren around for a long, long time.   GO MEAN GREEN!

Maybe not enough for kick off... But we need it to be big enough for field goals at least... Right?

I would imagine they are talking about punting versus kicking (kickoffs and field goals). I believe you need 75' in the clear to punt.

Seen some options. It will look insane, imagine you will have a visible of Apogee , the expanded offices and facilities and the IPF as continuous vision. With a practice field in front of the IPF.

Something should be announced in the next few weeks is the impression I got!

So a less expensive version of the Star? I like it!

Been in A&M's facility and they have a net that hangs down in an endzone with a field goal posts stitched into it.

There is an east and west field that are fenced off. There are some more fields further to the south. I think they intend to use one of those fields for the new IPF.

Just now, Wag Tag said:

The 2 Football practice fields just off the parking lot. South side.

Perhaps a picture might help with figuring out which fields.

Fields A or B:

It has to be A if they are going to use/renovate existing offices.

Yes, with a renovation plus expansion of the offices and football operations building, the logical location of the IPF is in the area of Practice Field "A".

Impression I got it would be to the right of A with a PF in front. Again it will be connected to the new office facilities.

Forgot to mention the University will match every dollar raised for the project! Let's all get the checkbooks out!  Leadership is just out standing! GMG 

So we should be receiving an official UNT fundraising solicitation/document in the mail soon?  Explaining, in written form and IPF conceptual drawings, what they are doing and what they will be asking the Alumni base to do.  Financially speaking.

Wren, for gosh sakes don't send me an email requesting a donation.  Make it professional.

My guess is that this will be a big thing for them to sale and present to people that come to the spring game. 

Also, with it connecting to the IPF, I would like to see improvements made to the weight room with them moving the Football Meeting rooms into the connecting area hopefully. 

Any idea when it is expected to be completed/ started?

Weight room, maybe. But they just spent a buttload of $$$$$ renovating and improving the team meeting areas in the AC. Don't see why you would move them after you just rebuilt them.

    1. 7

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

    3. 0

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

    4. 7

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      they dropped 100 on a conference mate. currently 47 in KenPom. Memphis is at 37 and currently our highest rated opponent.
