Club Members Stake Claims

The University of North Texas athletic department worked through the first few phases of the seat-selection process for its new football stadium over the last few weeks.

For the most part, UNT officials and the boosters who have purchased seats say they are happy with the results.

UNT has sold all 21 of its luxury boxes and more than 500 of its 754 club seats — up from 64 club seats on March 1, 2010.

Athletic department officials will now turn their attention to selling seats to fans who are not members of the Mean Green Club, the fundraising wing of the department.

“It’s been great,” said Cooper Jones, UNT’s senior associate athletic director for development.

Over 500/754? I'm impressed.

I do believe this is a strong indication that the development/sales team that RV has assembled is doing a very good job. The focus up to know for these folks has been on Box and Club Seats. Now they will begin to turn their attention to season ticket sales.

Still, lots of work to be done, and certainly some mis=steps will be made along the way, but these numbers certainly indicate that progress is being made, and even though season ticket sales have not been the #1 priority up to this point, more season tickets have been sold at this point than were sold at this point in the year last season. So, hopefully, we will see a nice increase in season ticket sales as well.

A good season on the field will certainly help as well, and I am hopeful that this team and this staff can deliver some exciting action for the fans this fall.

Nice start folks, now, members of the great Mean Green Nation, let's all get out there and talk positively about this program, this university and this new stadium and help with the season ticket sales. Just be positive...keep your challenges and problems "in house", and we can all help move this program forward.

GO MEAN GREEN!
