I don't know that UNT understands that they are in the entertainment business , and I'm not referring to the athletic product on the field or in the gym. Our student body does not embrace our sports enough to attend games so we need to provide them another reason to show up, such as before or after game concerts, etc. I am not in the entertainment business either but I would think someone attuned to students interests could put together events that would increase their participation.

IIRC ESPN has a 10 day window to choose who to pick up where, if we did better we would have been on national coverage more. Tulane had almost every game on ESPN/2 last year.
Lack of trees, minimal shade, and sprawled environments cause an unpleasant and unrealistic pedestrian option. Other than Mean Green Football, there is no reason for students to walk over to the Mean Green Village, making it isolated from the rest of campus.
This is not the end of the world, and the location has plenty of assets such as the hill, but understanding the disconnection between the stadium and campus can help explain the lack of culture surrounding sports
Our students do pretty much have their own entrance, restrooms, and concessions. Plus the hill is mostly students, so there’s a “landing” welcoming students to the game. Our students have it pretty easy compared to a lot of the country. Our issue has been finding reasons for them to come to games.
