I understand we have a functional nice bball facility. Do you think there is a place for a new basketball facility in the mean green village? Even if it is 20-30 years down the road? Your thoughts?

I haven't been to many other basketball stadiums but I really don't see what is great about the pit. I don't like the circular court railing design.

.would prefer straight lines...I just don't get the greatness that is prelached about the pit

Which stadiums would would you put over us?

I have been to many too and other than big 6 schools the pit is pretty darn nice.

It's not "great" - but it certainly isn't bad. I have been in much worse through the years. Considering the age of the arena, the SP is actually in remarkably good shape. I never would guess it's as old as it is.

The Super Pit is kind of old and dark (something that got worse when the orange chairs went to green--a move with which I agree--but I digress). Otherwise it's a pretty good facility, far superior to most of our peers. It's certainly a long way away from being torn down or replaced.

I just wish there was a way to remove the green bars around the base. Remove it and find a way for more seats t be on the floor. It has always looked empty when on television because of the design. Do that plus lighting, some new technology, and paint those brown boards green and we are set...

I have asked Rick to "tarp" the upper section to force fans closer to the action and give the arena a more intimate feeling,simular to blocking off back pews in a church, which he doesn't want to do.In addition, this is a university multipurpose facality,just like UTA's,not a dedicated basketball arena. I think with new scoreboard and freshing up it still is a good forum for years to come.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      If UC-Berkeley can show up in full force including the walking, talking stereotypes then so can UNT. UNT's problem is that they never won big and gave people a reason to give a damn. If UNT can give College GameDay a reason to show up or get some sort of national attention, EVERYBODY gets on the bandwagon. Including people who all of a sudden remember that they are alumni.

      Exactly. Seems like every couple years another successful FCS school makes the leap to FBS yet fans on this board keep trying to push the idea it would be worth dropping to FCS if we could compete for championships. Silliness.

      Easy answer is Coach Hardaway not to get silly fouls. She rarely fouls out anyway so this should be an easy adjustment. I will say this, Hardaway may be one of the best if not the best point guards and ball handlers in the conference.

      UNT HEAD COACH’S HUSBAND SAVES A LIFE AT DETROIT LIONS GAME

      UNT Head Coach Brittany Roth’s husband, Ben Roth, and their daughter were in the right place at the right time on Sunday December 22nd, and Roth was able to briefly save a life. Brittany Roth has been the head coach at UNT since 2017 and Ben Roth is a paramedic and firefighter in Plano. They hold season tickets to the Lions games, and Ben Roth told a Detroit Newspaper they try to make “four to five games a year as a family.” At the game on December 22nd between the Lions and the Bears, Ben and their daughter were sitting in club seats he described as “As close as you can be without actually being on the field.” That was when he noticed someone in a North Texas shirt, which was shocking as neither the Lions nor the Bears are based anywhere near Denton, Texas, the location of UNT.
