DRC breaking news: UNT to unveil facilities master plan this morning

I like the plan, but disappointed on a couple fronts. First, a small disappointment that there are very few details on timing goals, even if it’s a range. If you don’t set a goal, you won’t achieve it.

Secondly, and more importantly, I kind of expected they would look at some type of destination type area with bars and restaurants like everyone is doing around pro stadiums. With all of UNT major athletic stadiums headed toward this one area, surely there is enough traffic to have an area dedicated. Seems like there is plenty of land left from the golf course and good be a significant revenue stream if we leased the land. Or maybe that’s the smaller vision of the new tailgate area, an area for the band and food/drink? Only really geared toward football and maybe baseball when that comes in 2075.

Lastly - I guess that answers the question of Apogee expansion. That’s a big no.

Why does everyone call it a "Wing"? Its more like a tail.

Poor photo cropping skills, but this is what I'm saying.

Considering the shape of the stadium with the "tail" section being at one end of the length, this is why I have never understood it being call the wing zone. The orientation says "tail" to me.

If you look at it from the AD office's perspective, I can for sure see it more as a wings vs a tail...

The fact that we are talking about this is hilarious btw

I love almost everything about the new master plan. I do wonder why they need to bring the road all the way up to the student entrance. I love the openness and undulation of that area and think the road and loop will ruin the feel.
