DENTON, Texas – UNT Athletics Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley has announced the department’s push to #SelloutDATCU for the Mean Green’s next home game on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 6 pm against Wyoming.

With less than 10 days until kickoff, the Mean Green have already sold more than 20,000 tickets. Capacity at DATCU Stadium is 30,100.

As part of the effort, Denton-based Peterbilt Motor Co. has purchased 2,000 tickets to distribute to employees. The game will also be a centerpiece event for UNT’s annual family weekend and will serve as the department’s yearly DATCU Day – celebrating the long-term partnership with the local credit union.

“We are looking forward to being back at home for the Wyoming game in two weeks and all the events surrounding that day,” Mosley said. “It has been exciting to see the Denton community mobilize and get behind this effort to record our first-ever sellout of DATCU Stadium. We are especially thankful to local leaders like Peterbilt and DATCU others for the support in our goals.”

Fans can visit SelloutDATCU.com for up-to-date numbers of tickets sold as the push for a capacity crowd continues. A crowd of 23,510 Mean Green fans were in attendance for the season-opening win over Stephen F. Austin on Sept. 7, including more than 6,400 students.

The game will be a Green Out for all fans in attendance. Additionally, special rewards and giveaways will be released to UNT students as ticket claim thresholds are reached starting at 1,000 and culminating with a new record over 9,000.

Local ISD Education Foundation partnerships with Denton, Sanger and Lewisville have been implemented with a portion of ticket proceeds purchased by these groups being donated back to support local students.

Reunions scheduled for the weekend include a celebration of UNT’s 1994 and 2004 championship teams, including a visit from hall of fame former head coach Darrell Dickey, as well as a gathering of patrons at former Denton favorite, State Club. UNT spirit teams are also hosting Junior Mean Green Day.

Tickets for the Wyoming game and the rest of the 2024 season and still available for purchase.

Fans interested in purchasing single-game tickets or mini-plan packages for the 2024 season may do so online at www.meangreentickets.com or by calling the North Texas Athletics Ticket Office at (940) 565-2527 during normal business hours.

This makes me so happy.  UNT athletics is on the right track for this game.  Concentrate on Denton County and you have a heck of a fan base.

Go into this game 3-0...oh man

That would be awesome. The game time and weather also seem to be lining up. Underground weather shows a high of 92 degrees in Denton on the 21st. 

Then, all we have to do is win at a sold-out game at home.

The reaching out and connection to Peterbilt is a nice move, it shows effort by the AD to get more involved with local businesses.

2000 tickets is a nice group.  I hope all the tickets actually get used and not just “bought” like $mut does.

I would like to see a bigger partnership from Peterbilt. We've got a Mean Green firetruck, let's put a Mean Green big rig where that oversized patio chair is to replace the "best seats in the house." Lucky fans each game get to blare the horn after every UNT score.

Not a bad idea, but I would rather retain the services of Boomer the cannon.
