It has to go sadly as they say its too big.  And no luxury suites.

[MGNation92]

I don't get the hate for Jalie. She seems to have done better than everyone since her own coach, Tina Slinker.

[DentonLurker]

I think a new basketball arena goes hand in hand with number 6 on your list. Also, Baseball should move way down on the priority list.

[MeanGreen22]

Need a “new” super pit. Look at the difference between Erwin and Moody center at Texas. 
 

Grant just got a fat ext last season. 
 

Edit: I’d also like to see that tailgate area come to fruition. With the outlets and everything. Similar to what Baylor did.

Way wayyyyy down. I love baseball but we need to get all the other stuff up to par before that happens.

Market games, particularly home games to the student body on campus physically with signs, banners,  bands, cheerleaders, classroom announcements, spirit groups, sky writers, etc..

Also a Marketing strategy for the Denton businesses and make aware of all home games.

There are OOC football games that need to be scheduled. I think we have an opening next year, one the following and two spots to fill in 2025. As I recall anyway.

Didn't even think about this.     It has been 10 years, but I thought the Apogee deal was for 20 years?

20 Year $20 million, but I think I heard there was an "out" that might have been exercised.

Fantastic idea!

I always liked Interstate Battery Stadium.  A recognizable name.  The company owned by a North Texas Alum.  The convergence of Interstate 35E and Interstate 35W.  Perfect.

Lovelace Stadium at Flyonthewall Field? Nice ring to it...

Fix the scoreboards/highway marquee, sound system, and get people in the booth that actually know how to operate the scoreboard.

I, too, am Pro Pit, but going to the UTA game made me envy the other side. I'd like to see the arena on campus, though. Maybe they could build it on the grounds by Santa Fe Square/Traditions Hall.
