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 think if we beat Tech it would basically guarantee a sell out for the Wyoming game.

It would be nice if Wyoming helped out by winning a game before we play them.

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.

      How FAU Could Afford To Fire Tom Herman (a sensible contract clause)

      The FAU head coach signed a five-year contract with a base salary of $750,000, including annual incremental increases. For the 2024 college football campaign, Herman’s salary will be $1 million. He’ll earn $1.25 million in 2025, $1.35 million in 2026, and in the final year of the contract, he’ll earn $1.5 million. Herman hadn’t been a head coach since the 2020 season when Texas fired him. He spent time as an analyst for the Chicago Bears in 2021, but made his return to college football when the Owls hired him after the 2022 season. With FAU headed to the American Athletic Conference, the Owls needed a coach who had experience and could recruit the area well. Herman recruited well at his previous stops, and the administration believed he could do it again in Florida. If FAU terminates his contract, he will be paid a lump sum of 20 weeks of his annual salary or the remainder of the contract, depending on which number is lower.

      Earth to GMG

      The coaches caused the NIL issue in the first place with their outsized salaries and ridiculous employment contracts. And you better believe these AD's and coaches all are in on it and look after each other's financial interest. The players saw this and said "screw it" I'm getting paid too. How many of you on GMG have an employment contract or make what these clowns do a year? If you add up all the players and coaches and staff, what is that? Like 150 people? Even Ohio State's annual budget is only $215 million. In the business world, managing $200/million/year and 150 people isn't that big a deal and you certainly won't be compensated like a college football coach. This system is rigged! I say that coaches should be at will employees like the rest of us, now that they screwed up College Football.

      No. I don’t want to reward my 6-7 team for beating another 6-7 team. #ReallyNewDenton

      Two years in....

      At the end of last year I graded Morris with a D (up from mid-season D- because he won the last two games). Many thought that grade was too low, but so far, I think either D or D- is still appropriate. Here are the wins under coach Morris along with the records of the teams we beat. 2023 LaTech (3-9) ACU (5-6) Temple (3-9) Tulsa (4-8) UAB (4-8) 2024 South Alabama (6-5) SFA (7-5) Wyoming (2-9) Tulsa (3-8) FAU (2-9) So after two seasons, the signature win in coach Morris' tenure is arguably Southland Conference and FCS-level Stephen F. Austin. Let that sink in. If South Alabama beats Texas State on Saturday, then we can probably elevate them to the signature win. Yay us. If it wasn't for Chad Morris falling in our laps, I'm not sure we get any of the five wins we currently have. This was/is the guy to take us to the next level? What a complete debacle.
