I think it will be fun to see what y'all come up with relative to the name of the stadium ( if you called the shots ).

Id like Interstate Battery Stadium, if said Interstate Battery donates a ton of money for the naming rights. Otherwise, if we named our old stadium after an athletic director, I say we name our new stadium after an athletic director. Rick Villerreal Stadium. This had been Rick's goal since the day he got here. I think it should bear his name.

thank you students

In all seriousness if we want to name it after a person it should be from someone associated with the 1956 team. It would be nice to honor the 1st school in TEXAS that allowed integration.

I know that Abner Haynes and Leon King were the players , but not sure on the coach or AD at the time

Odus Mitchell.

But Rick has said he hopes a big donor comes forward and the stadium would be named after that person. Here is a list of DFW's richest people and their net worth (in billions):

Alice Walton, Fort Worth: 16.1

Harold Simmons, Dallas: 7.4

Robert Rowling, Dallas: 6.4

Robert Bass, Fort Worth: 5.5

Henry Ross Perot, Dallas: 4.4

Ray Hunt, Dallas: 4.0

Richard Rainwater, Fort Worth: 3.5

David Bonderman, Fort Worth:3.3

Lee Bass, Fort Worth: 3.0

Sid Bass, Fort Worth: 3.0

T. Boone Pickens, Dallas: 3.0

Mark Cuban, Dallas: 2.6

Edward Bass, Fort Worth: 2.5

Andrew Beal, Dallas: 1.5

Gerald J. Ford, Dallas: 1.5

There must a NT alum that is a big CEO or executive that is a multi millionarie that would be willing to donate. It may take some time to find a person that will be willing to do this...maybe even after the stadium is completed.

Obviously we know Warranch is a giver but are any of these other people close with the university? That is the key thing.

I'm doubting we're going to get a former UNT alum to give $20 million. Our best bet is a local billionaire.

ANY name but a corporate sponsor is fine with me. <_< Call me old school but college athletics -- alledgedly not-professional -- should be without corporate naming rights.

How about Chesepeak Energy Stadium or..... Barnett Shale Stadium?

This is only conflating the first Black major college football player in Texas with his head coach at the time, but my proposal is "Mitchell-Haynes Field" Mitchell seems imperfect as far as civil rights credibility, but principled enough that once integration was ordered, he didn't do an end run around it, like some of the coaches in the Old South wanted him to.

      UNT Men’s Basketball: Mean Green Travel To Minnesota

      Cousin Oliver copying and pasting a basketball preview onto the football forum may be our key to success. First win over a ranked or power conference opponent in 12 tries this year.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.
