The stadium was built in 1995 ($3 Million... nuts) and renovated in 2012 ($54 Million), so their stadium costs are low. In 2017 the stadium was named Riccardo Silva stadium, but that name has since gone away... not sure why

Fun fact, FIU used to be known as the Sunblazers... which would be a cool nickname now.

Silva made a sizable donation to FIU to help renovate the stadium and in return was honored with the stadium in his name for 5 years

I think that "Stone Cold" Stadium in Denton has a nice ring to it...

I like it.  Something about "Pat Boone" Stadium just doesn't strike fear in people.

let's feed the rumors and make it even more confusing for everyone

Mean Joe Greene Stadium... then we can say... 'Well, actually, the team was called the Mean Green by some before Mean Joe was here... but actually, Mean Joe bought the naming rights for the stadium... so it actually IS named after him... but not in an honorary measure... he paid for it...'

      The Band

      I think the band is fantastic. The show was amazing this year, the band was loud in the stands and I thought the pregame was fantastic. I wonder how many complaining have donated to the Brigade or contributed to the program. The drum line is clean, the horns are loud. There were some coordination issues with the press box/dj’s this year, but I know the time these kids put into band. It’s massive. I’m a proud alumni of the Green Brigade, and I’m proud of how the band represents us old-timers today. Thank you, Green Brigade, for supporting the team and your school, and for the dedication you show week in and week out.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      I stopped when I could give tickets away to people who live in Denton and like football. After the new smell wore off Apogee (DATCU) it was impossible to give 3 tickets out of set of 4 away. Then I would have to drag one of my sons kicking and screaming to fill one of my 2 season ticket seats. Now I buy week of the game. In 2025 I probably won't even do that. Just very sad. Leadership doesn't care to win just participate. When and if Clemson breaks free of AAC we will end up in something more FCS than FBS. And I am not sure how they will pay the bills with that reduced revenue. 😥

      UNT vs Temple In Game Discussion****

      Okay how about all the grumpy fans that donate and go to games just stop complaining take their money and time and support something else? By my calculations about 5-10k undergrads are giving the players the 🖕🏾 disguised as empty seats at games. To the eye roller reaction: what do you suggest? Have you ended up wasting season tickets money because you couldn't drag any of your friends or family to a game on a GOOD WEATHER Saturday? Genuinely curious.
