Per page 70. New structures coming to a Mean Green campus near you.

Football Stadium

New Visitor Center building.

Art Expansion building.

College of Business building.

3 Science expansion buildings.

7 or 8 future housing buildings..ie Dorms.

4 Academic buildings.

An Opera House building.

3 New Parking Garages.

And I noticed in every map of the PDF that the Bonfire Pond remains?

By the way, if any of you have not had the opportunity to look at this, I highly recommend it. It discusses all of the future plans for the campus, including athetics, building construction, creation of parks and gathering areas, etc.

If this document doesn't get you excited about what is going at the University of North Texas, I'm not sure what will.

It's required. I believe it is an "Official Drainage Pond" or something to that effect.

Construction projects of this magnitude could include re-routing a watershed or below ground water supply almost anywhere. I thought someone posted the lake would probably go away. I was disappointed to hear that. It seems a like a great idea for the coplex.

This could be to our benefit.

Imagine that the drainage was rerouted to the lower area between the railroad tracks and I-35W, and Bonnie Brea was then sent the same route but rejoining the current Bonnie Brae path south of the athletic village.

That would take 'through-traffic' out of the Mean Green Village which would help incorporate the whole area instead of being divided as it is, eliminating the throughway would allow for significantly more parking, free local residents from having to go through a 20 mph school zone, and it would also enable restaurants to build along that valuable frontage property that faces the interstate.

That's an interesting idea, but I don't think there is a frontage road on that part of I35W.

But there is also a railroad track right behind the MG Village which might derail that idea (pun intended!).

That's the whole point.

Bonnie Brea already crosses the railroad track, just on the southern side of the Mean Green Village. Reroute it so it crosses the railroad track NORTH of the Mean Green Village and runs on the other side of the railroad tracks behind the baseball, softball, and soccer facilities. That frontage property over there is otherwise landlocked because no entrance or exit ramps can be put there for a frontage road.

If the athletic department were to own that property, it could garner additional revenue by controlling the commercial contracts of any restaurants.

Remeber, there is going to be a HUGE office/warehouse complex built accross I-35W in the near future. Plan now with infrastructure to profit later.

And....why not use that property to build establishments that will further enhance the university?

Why not give a sweetheart lease to build a Stars Center? There's one about every 10 miles going up the Highway 121 corridor but not a single one in Denton County.

      I think you will see dramatic drop off in interest if that happens. The casual CFB fan without a passionate attachment to a particular team is a small market. College Basketball found that out the hard way. Your purely market driven model applied to the NFL 40 years ago robs the league of Carolina Panthers, Houston or Tennessee franchises, Baltimore or Cleveland franchise, the Jaguars an maybe even Green Bay (if they were poorly managed and never found Brett Farve). Hell even the New Orleans Saints would be on thin ice with hurricane Katrina without the Drew Bree and Sean Patton era. What I think is best would be about 30-40 FBS teams going back down to FCS. And I think a conference like the MAC just doesn’t belong at the FBS level. And basically any team that has jumped up to FBS after 2000 should be critically examined and forced to go back down if they haven’t met certain criteria in on the field achievement.

      I think you’re right. Morris, DT, Mercer, and Hammond.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.
