Treed Area Near New Stadium

[FireFightnJoey]

It should be the "Aerie" - the nest of a bird of prey, as an eagle or a hawk. (per Dictionary.com)

It would also play on UNT History since this name was also used by the yearbook for many years.

Maybe we should reserve this for the nick name of the stadium. Similar to the swamp, death valley. But does it sound mean enough for that?

There used to be a treed area behind the main auditorium/english building that my peers (of the 70's) called "people's park". Here it is on the cover of the 72 Yucca.

Hmm...sounds a little too Communist for a football tailgating area.

Since it's an old golf course, The Green or The Rough

You hit it, "The Rough" is the clear winner.

The cool tailgating spots I have heard had nothing to do with school spirit or nicknames. Like Joe Said the boulevard (SMU)and the grove (Ole Miss) is something you have to know. The Rough is excellent it is meaningful with reference to the old golf course, and it makes sense for a treed area. And at this point it sounds unique to college tailgating. I hope we have more treas put back in along the lake on the west and the east side, just to give us some more room. The boulevard and the grove are pretty big.

Yeah, I thought about that after making the post.

Thanks comrade.............

Why are we wasting time with trees anyway? Screw trees. Put up some statues of Mean Green greats of the past.

Pssht! Trees, indeed!

Maybe "The site formerly known as Eagle Point"?

Of the suggested names, I kinda like "The Green" - has some class to it.

[MeanGreenTexan]

I think "the Green" has class. None of the other ones have any class. They're a bunch of low-brow names of greenspaces that you would find next to homeless shelters or strip clubs. Especially "the Aerie".

"Green Acres" are you kidding? Where's the CLASS in that?!?

[THOR]

class and tailgating certainly don't mix to me! while walking through the orange lot, i never think of class. plenty of places in the blue lot don't scream class either...beerman anyone??? why the focus on being classy??? IT'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL TAILGATING NOT THE OPERA!!!!!

I think you've nailed it! "Beerman's Speaker Space"

[Baby Arm!]

Beerman? Meh,

Some think the beerman is pure greatness, but sorry, I just don't see it.

"The Green" seems a little too cute and tongue cheek with our colors and nick name, plus the trees kill the depiction of a golf green.
