Scrappy's Lair!

I'd be okay with Shinerbock Stadium...

Odus Mitchell Stadium

Here here!

A lot of his family still lives in or around Denton.

I also like Mitchell-Haynes Field with the stadium named after the donor. The biggest donor to date will be the students, so Student Stadium would be fine.

Fry Field at Peterbuilt Stadium has no shot since Playmaker mentioned it.

I picked Mitchell because he was the winningest coach in school history and was also the coach during integration. He was way before my time, so I'm pleased that the older alums who actually remember the man are so taken with my suggestion. I'm big on honoring history when you can, and he's the best we have on the gridiron.

The Aerie

That'd be a cool unofficial name for it, like the Murchison is referred to as the Armadillo.

Maybe G. Brint Ryan of Ryan & Co. will give something. Although, I think he gave/is giving a huge chunk for the new business school. If you don't know of Ryan & Co., it's a 28 office tax firm in US and Canada....pretty big deal UNT alum

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

Sadly I am not related to a single Bass on that list.

Flyer Field

The Nest or The Eagles Nest

Fouts 2.0.ver awesome

You can close it in and call it the Talon Bowl

[NT80]

GGII always wanted to name it Fry-Mitchell Stadium.

[oldschoollefty]

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

C'mon Powerball/Mega Millions...

Hey no one is more deserving than the coach that has always been there for NT, Mr. Hayden Fry...Also I think Peterbuilt should take a close look at getting the naming rights, they are across the street and get frontage for i-35e and i-35w truckers...

Legendary Coach Hayden Fry Field at the 35,700 seat Peterbuilt Stadium.....

[DirtySavage]

I want a 9 foot bronze statue of Mean Joe in the south end zone for players to rub before they take the field coming out of the athletic facility.

[KRAM1]

Lots of great ideas here posted...me, I don't care what you call it as long as you build it!

GO MEAN GREEN!

[Cerebus]

Not even Billionaires are immune to the economy. Ask T. Boone Pickens (loss ~1 billion) or Chesapeake Energy head Aubrey McClendon (~3 billion).

I think it should be Fouts Field @ Whoever Makes a huge donation Stadium.

[DirtySavage]

Winstar stadium. Prime demographic area along I-35 and the natives have the dough.

[greenjoe]

Student Government Association Stadium.

[oldguystudent]

How about letting the stadium design company name it after themselves in exchange for a discount on the architecture and a little kick in on construction costs. We get our new stadium, and they get a show piece for future clients.

[SilverEagle]

My vote is student field at mean green eagle stadium.

I agree with this. It was the students who finally made this happen, and so they should be given the naming rights.

First off, I am pissed that I have now reached the age to be referred to as an "older alum."

Coach Mitchell was a great man that remained tied to North Texas after his retirement. I grew up with many of his grandchildren, and he was a great man and deserves to be recognized.

Sorry, no offense meant. I'll be there before you know it.

Funny, Quoner has a nine foot bronze of Johnny Quinn that he rubs every time he leaves home.

To be fair, it's only one part of him, so if you don't know me, you kind of walking away thinking it could be anyone.

Remember, the only alternative to becoming an older alumnus is to become a dead alumnus. I'll take older.
