Treed Area Near New Stadium

[Harry]

Go Mean Green!!

[HoustonEagle]

the only possible problem with "The Green" is during much of football season most foliage is brown. I realize it is a play on the golf course, the LEED stadium, and us being the Mean Green. Still maybe something to think about? Maybe not...

[Eastwood Eagle]

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

I think some would need to know how to pronounce that first, or am I the only one?

I personally like calling The Green, its simple and obvious.

Not really too hard - just "air" and "ee"

[Harry]

Like The Green as well

[GrayEagle]

The Village Green

[DeepGreen]

If it's going to be used for tailgating, then "Tavern On The Green" would fit perfectly. That is, unless Stebo had that name registered. ® ® ® ®

[TheTastyGreek]

How about "Mean Green space"?

Only if It's guaranteed to be Wide Open.

[MeanGreenEagle]

The treey nole? ...too soon?

i'm in the minority and think that "the green" sounds kinda ghey. how do you meet at a color? i understand where the proposed name is coming from, but it sounds really generic and stupid....sorry kram!

the yard is all i can think of and i'm not that excited about that suggestion...

[greenjoe]

It's not a color. It's a putting surface. An attitude about the environment. The reason a dollar is called a greenback.

How can it NOT be called The Green. Besides, grassy knoll would be confusing.

[NTerock]

It needs to be one word with a "the" in front of it. Classy, but a little slutty at the same time... just like I like my women.

so now our tailgating area could be named after golf??? i just don't get it, nor do i see the greatness of the name and why must we make a statement towards the environment? for the record, i don't recycle and really don't care about all the LEED stuff going on at the stadium except that it is drawing positive attention to the university.

not trying to nitpick or argue, i just don't get it...

"Tailgate on The Green"

I like the sound of that!

[PlummMeanGreen]

One thing about it, UNT had 3 (or 4?) NCAA National Championship Golf teams who used to train on some of that area where our football palace is being built. Might be a nice gesture to find a name that honors that legacy.

GMG!

We had 2. Our only two national championships to be won in any sport.

"The Green" is a very good name.

A couple of definitions from dictionary.com for those that don't get it.

Green - "grassy land; a plot of grassy ground."

Green - "a piece of grassy ground constituting a town or village common."

So if the area where our stadium stands is the Mean Green Village - The Green makes pretty good sense.

The Hillareal?

"The bird's nest" it must be. "The green" sounds a bit wimpy. "Green Acres" is not the place to be. So, "The Bird's Nest" it must be.

Huh?

[eulessismore]

Well, if "The Green" is too wimpy for some, maybe it should be the center of some new, whoopass tradition: "The Victory Grove", where folks can go and glory in some post game ritual preserved for WINNING games.

[SUMG]

I like "The Green", as well.

BTW...the trees in the area will be referred to as "The New Waterless Urinals."

[Eastwood Eagle]

Anything besides The Green sounds like we are trying to hard to make a name fit, to me The Green sounds natural.

[H-towngreen]

You're right the green is "ghey", so what should we change our name to then???
