Stadium Vote Passed!....nm

FirefightnRick · October 29, 2009

Just got word. Also, groundbreaking ceremony, prior to the Army game, 11 a.m. BE THERE!

I don't know anything more on it. Maybe Flyer can fill us in although I don't expect there's much more to say about it.

Great news.

Great, now set up the WebCam so we can watch it being built from work!

This calls for a football celebration!

Lorenzo, I hope there is no significance to you using a scene from Citizen Kane, where Kane is forcing himself to loudly applaud for his no-talent-opra-singing girlfriend....whom he has foisted on the general public.

As I mentioned in an earlier post...DONE DEAL! Congratulations to all who worked so hard and for so long to bring this to reality. Thanks to the students who had the foresight to vote in favor of the stadium. This is a great day for the Mean Green Nation!

Got to give a big THANK YOU TO RV too...he had the vision and the fortitude to see it through. We have had many AD's who talked a good fight, but didn't "walk the walk". RV said he would do all he could to make it happen and he did...and he is still working to make it a great stadium for the fans of the MEAN GREEN. Thanks to all.

GO MEAN GREEN! See you at the W KY game Saturday.

UNT Mean Green · October 29, 2009

Got a call from the AD around 10:45 this morning stating that it is a done deal. Awesome news! Great work everyone involved.

Any word on anything spoken at the hearing ? Was there someone there to speak for or against ? Did the members "high five" each other when the motion passed ? Anything ?

GO MEAN GREEN

MeanGreenHoops · October 29, 2009

Tip of the my cap to Rick V. for this! After Todd Dodge, Rick V., me, you, after we are all long gone and buried, UNT will still have this beautiful new stadium. Congrats and Thanks!

The DRC article said that several residents from the Denia neighborhood were making the trip down, but that neither pro or against sides were allowed to speak.

FireFightnJoey · October 29, 2009

Woohoo! Awesome news. Let's get this thing built.

drex · October 29, 2009

Correction...there have been many AD's who talked the talk, but were not allowed to walk the walk by the senior administration. Just for historical clarity.

NT80 · October 29, 2009

I will also note this tidbit of positivity (for KRAM) about the stadium in the DMN "College Briefs" section of the sportspage...

...."UNT officials hope to break ground next month on a facility that will seat more than 30,000 and open for the 2011 season"....

THANKS FLYER!!!

ditto, RV had his chance 7-8 years ago and screwed the pooch, the Ath. Department did not do this but rather the students and SGA.

Kudos to the students!!
