I was shooting defensive ends, Chase Ortiz and Tommy Blake for a MWC story and noticed that Amon Carter has the horse shoe style lower lever, sans track, and steep side seats. Very much like the renditions posted about the initial designes of our new stadium in the "wishful thinking" topic.

I really like watching football at Amon Carter and seeing how similar it is to our concept is really great. The big difference is the luxury boxed right above the horse shoe. With the boxes, it will even be steeper and more canyon like.

We have to have this stadium before I kick off.

My thoughts exactly.

I believe they borrowed ideas from AC, which is one of my favorite stadiums.

Fouts was a horrible design before it was ever built and it has denied North Texas the ability to gain a strong following for many decades. The new design at North Texas is even worse and could doom the program for the next century.

I can't believe that we have people actually excited about repeating the mistake.

photographing = shooting, with camera. I know, in this day and age I may go to jail.

Adler, I looked again and I still like AC and dont really understand what you dont like about the new drawing or concept that we have other than they are not getiing anything done. I really dont know anything about it as to debate its funtionality.

More seats in the upper deck than close to the field.

Exactly. In the original AC design we stick our fanbase back up and out of the way in an upper deck. By looking at the design, it's almost 1/2 of the capacity would be up high. Whereas those seats need to be integrated back down onto the field by making the lower level larger.

We need to learn from history.

You build a modern Division 1 stadium by building it in components with the intention (and ability) to expand when necessary.

For Example: LSU Stadium started by building the prime seating along both sidelines.

Then that design was expanded higher and one end was enclosed to make a horseshoe configuration.

And later the entire lower area was bowled in and upper decks have been added as additional seating has been required.

One problem is that the luxury suites divide the upper and lower tier. More seats added to the lower tier put both the luxury boxes and the upper seats further away from the action.

Frankly, I like the current plan. We already have the blueprints and it can be completed in 18 months. If you start over you'll need new plans, new cost studies and approvals all over again.

I'm just ready for them to announce to the world that the stadium fund is on its way. I saw the first game at Fouts and I'd like to see the final one there.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
