Frisco.  Meh.  There's too many bowl games anyway.  Sweet ... we're in the Michelob Ultra / SUV / Planet Tan / Subdivision Bowl in Frisco.

i rather play there than the HOD bowl.  The cotton bowl is a dump and there a lot of empty seats.  Rather see a sell out crowd in a smaller stadium.

That's not a very big stadium for a FBS bowl game! The FCS championship game is one thing but a FBS bowl should be a different animal. Still it was built with TV in mind. 

And no I don't think they can do much more than 20k. 

Admittedly I've not been to an American football game there so it might be different. The last few time I've been is to see Jimmy Buffet.

Basically WKU hosting a bowl size venue. Montgomery has a similar size stadium and it has worked fine.

You get Temple and Georgia State in Frisco and 20k is going to be too big.

Houston and AState or ULL and there will be people who can't get a ticket..

The Yuppie Bowl sponsored by Toyota

Or the LA Fitness Bowl. 

Go to any store in Frisco, every one in there looks like they just came from the gym.

It would be pretty awesome if we got to play there some day. I'd enjoy it more than the HOD. It's not that I didn't enjoy both HOD games but Toyota Stadium is really nice. Not to mention I live one exit south on the DNT from there. Plus, we'd sell it out pretty easily.

I have been to 1AA championship game and the stadium is a nice venue for football. I knew they were putting money into it as the U.S. Soccer  Hall of Fame is moving there, but unaware they were adding 10,000 additional seats. Frisco doesn't need a 30,000 venue for FC Dallas, the 1AA championship game, Jimmy Buffet, or his father Warren. Perhaps the "Son of a Beach Bowl"?

I think that based upon attendance at the 2 HOD bowls we played in that if we are bowl eligible UNT will get an invite.

We'd sell out Toyota Stadium pretty easily. I went to an FC Dallas game a few weeks ago and I think I heard it will seat 30,000 something once the renovations are done. It's waaay nicer than the Cotton Bowl. I'm sure the Star would also have UNT stuff going on considering we are affiliated with the Cowboys.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.
