Not gonna lie, it's an eyesore that everyone sees when they enter Apogee. We should put SOMETHING there. Whether that should be a building, such as a visitor information building or just some scenery like flowers is up for discussion.

If it's not opened up for tailgating, those would be some pretty good spots. 

Not to run with this idea from a previous thread at all or anything, but 4 or 5 food trucks could fit into that space as well. 

Big inflated Scrappy?

That was the parking lot for the old hotel that never got torn up...

Huge eye-soar for UNT, and needs to be fixed... honestly would be a good place for an alumni wall or center have people pay X bucks to get a name on a brick or even a concert pavilion for the pregame...  anything to get bodies by the stadium

I'd turn it into the PARTY Pavillion for current UNT students who are of legal drinking age.  Throw a pool or lazy river in, make it a damn attraction!! Let's go!! Lol

This is my first post.   Cool.  So, using some internet magic, UNT owns this land it seems.   So it  seems it is within the universities power to make it not an eyesore (AKA make it an alternative tailgate place or something else cool).land.png.cd5908ef6afe3524bedc6f5c469c4539.png

They will regret the waterfalls when their fans are lined up ready to use "them new fangled outdoor bathrooms!"

Back on topic.  I had two ideas for the "slab."

1.  Great place to put food trucks during pregame.

2.  Build a stage facing the tailgate area and have pre and post game entertainment.

3. a 20 ft statue of Scrappy - as fans come across the bridge, they can rub Scrappy for Good Luck as they enter the "Mean Green Village"  I get credit for this idea....

There's speculation that a basketball arena could fit where the old hotel once sat. We're a long ways off from building a new basketball arena though as there are greater needs to be addressed first.

Do we own it?  I know that sounds weird, but I've seen some strange property deeds, the way land is parceled out or restricted.

If it's none of those things, and we own it, why not put up a little monument park showing some of our football history?  Statues or busts or markers for guys like Joe Greene, Abner Haynes, Carl Lockhart, J.T. Smith, Cedric Hardeman, Brian Waters, Ray Renfro, Bill Bishop...

...dare I even say it...

I like the Food Truck idea.  It woudn't need much permanent structure, just some cleanup and maybe some utilities work.  The food trucks would hopefully get walkup from both visitors and non-season ticket MG fans coming across the bridge.  One possible complaint might be from in-stadium vendors.

Clean it up, erect a large "circus tent" each game day and, boom, visiting team tailgate spot!

That's actually a great idea.

I think it's will be longer than that, but it's been floated out there since the Superpit is so costly to update with the new ADA guidelines.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
