Your Stadium Donation

FirefightnRick · September 30, 2010

I stopped by the stadium yesterday(Damn it's fantastic to see!) and spoke with officials about stadium donations and wanted to clear up a couple of misconceptions I learned about I think that are floating around. If there are others post them here and someone can probably answer them.

For one, if you are a current season ticket holder and, like I was, having concerns that for next year your going to get priced out of your seats, that simply IS NOT TRUE AT ALL. There will be a slight increase as I'm certain everyone understands due to the overall facility upgrade, but they will not be significant to the point you cannot keep your current seats. So please, if your holding out a donation because your worried about having to save up for that BIG increase next year, please donate now and get on board with this project. It does not matter how much you give, just give what you can.

Second, again, it does not matter what you give. If your holding out your donation because you simply don't feel what you can give will make a difference, NOT TRUE AT ALL. Every amount counts. We have the power in numbers at North Texas. There is a bland UNT billboard on east I-30 in Fort Worth right now that simply reads(paraphrasing of course) "94,000 alumni work in the DFW metroplex". I'm hearing that number rises to over 150K when considering outside of the DFW area and around the 5 state region? If everyone of them simply gave just $100 we would be making a huge difference overall. So please give what you can.

Three, if you are wanting club seats but are concerned about your seats being inside and don't want to sit inside, again NOT TRUE AT ALL. The Club seating IS outside, in the weather. But you will have access inside behind the glass. This is similar to what KajunRaider and the boys have at MTSU, only nicer. You'll have access to someone coming down and taking concession orders plus a damn nice indoor facility to retreat to whenever you want, and there are some incredibly great prices for what is included in this package.

Four, if you do purchase Club seats, and when the stadium host other events such as concerts, you as a Club seat owner will have first right of refusal for that event. This is a fantastic option for what you get.

I know there probably are more concerns out there and the AD dept is collecting them all for an informational FAQ that hopes to be out this Fall. If you have one share them here or give the AD dept a call and let them know.

Folks, I know times are tough right now and this is asking everyone to go above and beyond what you normally do for this school. But this is the biggie for North Texas. THIS IS IT! If there ever was a time to go above and beyond, THIS IS THE TIME. Give whatever you can and get on board now. You'll feel great that you did and next year when you walk into that beautiful stadium with your family and kids/grand kids you can show them what you helped build with Mean Green pride.

If you have any questions or concerns at all I suggest you get them answered by calling Cooper Jones at 940-369-8268 or 502-544-9001.

OK, FFR and SUMG (and the rest of ya') I take the bite because I want to do my part.

Yall have inspired me to do what I have not been able to due to this>>>>>>>>> As another medically uninsured American I have had some health concerns the last few years that hospitals actually like to be paid their bills concerning such and in those last few years that has put me (as many other Americans) in a financial hole and behind in my gifts to UNT.

So...

As some of you know, I DJ events many weekends and even some weeknights in the DFW area. For Fort Worth area events a DJ can get anywhere from $1,000-$1,400 (or more) for most 4 hour events. In Dallas, for weddings those DJ's make a killing (pardon the business jargon).

Here's My Deal Which Could Be Good For UNT, You and.....Me:

For anyone who books my DJ services who is part this board or has a UNT connection & mentions this Mean Green Stadium Building Fund here is how it would break down:

For Any 4 Hour Event (wedding reception, birthdays, karaoke events, reunions, etc) that I book with any GMG.com member:

An $800.00 quote for any 4 hour event with half that amount ($400) being written in a check (by you) to the North Texas Stadium Fund. You decide yourself if you want to put "on behalf of Soundworks Productions" on the check note area or not.

I'm not expecting an avalanche here since many of you are probably not in need of a DJ for anything, but (hellsbells!) if I get only "1" out of this that is an additional $400 more for Mean Green Football Stadium Building Fund that you (the client) and me (the vendor) made happen. BTW, if you want to add it, this promo includes free karaoke (over 17K tracks on my laptop) for your event and karaoke is usually a $100 extra. I DJ with a laptop for the most part and have a very extensive music library of songs of all genres--I do mean "ALL" genres. (For non-wedding events I might ask permission to display a DJ tip jar if it would be OK).

If anyone needs a DJ for an upcoming wedding or special event, please fill out the "Contact Form" at the bottom of the website's first page, mention the Mean Green Stadium Building Fund promotion then click "Submit Information" and all your information will go directly to my email. We will eventually talk over the phone to see if we are a good match for what you want at your event.

PS: I'm behind on my gifts to UNT, but I hope for a 4'th quarter Hail Mary sorta' come-back!

PS II: Have already had a contact on this special promo for an upcoming wedding.
