"I heard through the grapevine that an official announcement of UNT adding a basketball practice facility is imminent. "

I'd say that would seem to be the case which is fantastic news!

Nah... asphalt and double-rimmed gorilla goals.

can we get a chain net on one and no net at all on the other. That way they will have to chase the ball anytime there is a swish in that goal.

Outside shooting was pretty bad last year

Will we hire small, white guys for our team to dunk over?

Never in the history of North Texas Athletics has something so big been accomplished so quickly. Thank you to the two members of GMG.com who stepped up big on this campaign. You know who you are. Look for a press release from Mr. Capper soon.

[Green P1]

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

I'd like to extend my thanks as well. I don't know who you are, but times are obviously changing around North Texas.

I might have to start distancing from Kolb before too long....

When beer is at the end, it's a 2.0 20 dash.

[UNT Five&Dime]

MeanGreenSports.com Release

In March of this year, the division added a basketball practice facility to the capital projects it sought to fund through UNT’s comprehensive campaign, which is still in the quiet phase. In June, a subcommittee was formed. The actual campaign to raise the funds began in July and all of the money was committed in less than 30 days.

The AD and the people who worked hard on this (like FlyOnTheWall) should be congratulated on their efforts. This is another great facilities accomplishment for the athletic department.

I wonder when we can see some renderings

What did the Athletic Center cost?

[Green P1]

I'm almost as excited about the VideoBoard upgrades as I was about Apogee.

[golfingomez]

VIDEOBOARD!!!

now we can see all our favorite replays without squinting our eyes!

What did the Athletic Center cost?

If I remember correctly it was on the order of 12 million. Someone can correct me if I'm way off on that.
