Using the attendance numbers from ESPN, it looks like we've increased from 19,878/game last year to 22,362/game this year. 2,500 more fans per game is definitely something to be happy about. Now we just need to transition them into the MGC.

Homecoming was 26,108. Close. 

I personally thought the alum side looked great. I sit front row end zone, and looking up to the alum side, it looked like a full house over there. The amount of heads and just general fullness looked like something seen on TV at a big time P5 game.

A great day to celebrate for all of us who bleed Mean Green.  We never came close to having this kind of atmosphere at Fouts Field...Never!

The Wing Zone seemed almost as full as it was for Apogee's Grand Opener vs UH. It was a great night for all Mean Green'ers of every decade.  My old college roommate has now become a regular Mean Green fan (again).   He and his ex wife,  myself (and my ex) were at Fouts for Fry's debut as HFC.  We were reminiscing about that Fouts Field game last night as we seemed surrounded by Army fans in Section 208.  The Army fans were first class all the way.   Even though we've played them a bunch lately, North Texas would be foolish not to continue to schedule Army as a home and home because if we don't---we know someone up the road whose seen our turnstiles success against the Black Knights who will take it away from us and  do it themselves.  

Their dirty playing few will graduate in due time, so we shouldn't get hung up on them.   Why burn our barn down just to kill a few dirty mice?    Last night was a turnstiles money-making succe$$ for UNT.

Still....where can we find just 4,000 more fans out of 800,000 in Denton Country, 119,000 in Denton,  39,000 UNT enrollment and whatever our real DFW alumnus numbers are; that is,  4,000 additional fans to fill out Apogee at games as the one last night ?  

Large crowds at Apogee make you feel as if we are on the cusp of a true Big Time future (and who knows,  maybe in a more high profile conference). Kudos to the UNT Athletic Dept, for teaming up with Coca Cola for their Family Plan promo; 4 tickets for $60 plus food/drink percs. You can't get that kind of entertainment deal at your local movie theatre for a family of 4.

I hope we don't kick the can of a serious group promotions program to the next Athletic regime, because we need to solve this problem now.   Solving this now (or next Spring/Summer) might be very important for us to in the next NCAA Re-alignment circus & (trust me) that is going to happen. 

To get those additional 4,000 fans at Apogee, we've  still got to jump out of that damn glass jar (or coffee can) as described in the link below.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      This gets the PAC to their first goal of full football membership before 2026. It also paves the way for entry into Texas. Perhaps at the suggestion of media advisors? Further expansion later to set up a possible Eastern Division of the PAC is predicted by several fan forums. PAC West: Wash St, Ore St, Fresno St, Boise St, Utah St, SDSU PAC East: Colo St., Texas St, "X", "X", "X", "X"

      I believe Army has been a positive addition to AAC football as far as the ESPN media contract viewership. Especially with the great football season they just had. UNT has had several games on mainline ESPN channels in both football and basketball this school year. I would say the most in a single season in our athletic history. I don't think they would have elevated us if we didn't warrant it with ESPN.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      TxSt is at the right place, at the right time. Tulane and Memphis said no, UNLV and AFA got tied down to the MWC for extra money, it looks like the PAC doesn't want to bring up an FCS school, the AAC options come with a $27M exit fee hurdle. Who else is out there? NMSU? SHSU? The PAC needs to have an 8th full member before July 1st 2026 to keep their FBS designation. They don't have time to wait for options. They need to get schedules, and media partners settled. TxSt pays $5M to get out of the SBC, a very accessible number.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      Agree, everything will depend on the dollar amounts. $12M a team and I think we see some teams making the jump, personally I'm just not sure if they can get much more than what the AAC gets. If the AAC media deal does drop significantly in 2032 I would expect teams to move then, plus you would have no exit fees since you are in between contracts similar to how the Pac12 fell apart. We'll see soon enough who their media partner will be, and what kind of appetite they have for content.
