When the new scoreboard was built - the articles claimed that it would eventually travel across the street to the new stadium. Is this still true? Maybe this is a reason for not building the scoreboard above the Wing Zone? Cost?

Also - this might seem crazy, but when we replaced the turf - I remember the articles stating that it would be moved to the new stadium, too. I really doubt that this will happen because it would essentially leave nothing over at Fouts; but has anyone heard about these two subjects?

Basically, I am wondering what type of video board we will have over there. Same one or new one?

I remember talking about this awhile ago. I thought the scoreboard might be used as a secondary unit. I think the plan was to have a new scoreboard that was one large screen that would provide the most functionality. I also thought it wasn't feasible or possible to put the old turf in the new stadium.

I recall RV stating previously that they would take the turf across the highway to use it on one of the practice fields. This would make sense to practice on the same type of surface that you play on. They could then let grass grow on The Fouts track and field stadium for the field events there.

Then I think I heard back in the day that that Fouts Field turf would not be able to be peeled up and moved. I hope that was wrong since it is still in good shape.

And does UNT really plan on keeping Fouts as a Track & Field Stadium? If so, that doesn't show on the campus master plan which shows "no Fouts Field" albeit master plans can be changed.

Only until the new track an field facility is built. I don't know how far off that is.

That is what I meant. Not sure how high up on the list the new track and field complex at Eagle Point is so we may use Fouts for track and field for a few years.

Cant see why they would go to the expense for this. Afterall they will already have a turf field and two grass fields for practice just steps from the locker room.

Scoreboard and turf are staying at Fouts.

I didn't see how that turf could be moved, but why can't the scoreboard be repainted and utilized in some capacity?

A reliable source that I trust told me that RV has already met with the same company that created the turf for Fouts. So we should be getting new turf similar to that at Fouts. As for the scoreboard, another source that I trust has told me we are getting a new board, and it will be bigger and nicer then the one at Fouts. How much bigger and nicer, I don't know. We will all know for sure in a few months.

Word has it that the new LED videoboard will be larger than the entire green scoreboard, videoboard, and green metal paneling all together that is at Fouts now.

RV said before construction started that the new digital board would allow multiple options that can be constantly changed thruout a game: all video, inset video with some stats, some ads with video and stats, etc,

I'm almost positive that I heard RV say that the new jumbo-Tron will be the 3rd biggest in Texas (behind UT and A&M) and somewhere in the top 25 in the nation. This is only counting college stadiums. Their also thinking about placing a smaller screen in the space between the wing and home side.

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      Is there a portal for coaches? Asking for a friend.

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
