I think opening the season at home will bring a ton of energy to Denton.

I think the team will show up ready to play and please the crowd with a solid win.

I think the 100 year celebrations will be a hit.

Question is...has the AD done enough to sell out Apogee and capitalize on it all?

I was down at the stadium today looking for Mean Green shirts for some of my co-workers, and there was a steady stream of students picking up their tickets. I think the students will show up tomorrow.

My guestimate is: 24,600 (cooler weather and it would be more).

And I also believe the east student side will almost be full if not full.

Wonder how Family Plan sales went for the Wing Zone? If that section ever

became full for most every game our average attendance numbers would become

dramatically higher. It's the best college football ticket deal in the Metroplex for

a family of 4 so why not?

GMG!

PS: More overall interest?

Just look at so many more on GMG.com who are posting or merely

looking at posts and I think that even translates to more out there who have no idea

this forum exists. I credit all this to CUSA membership plus our UNT constituency

just keeps on getting larger, larger, larger and larger.

Addendum:

Interest once again? There have been almost 800 on this forum in the last 2 or so hours and this

has to be close to some kind of record for GMG.com. Harry?

I'm sticking with 28k. It will be hot, but that won't prevent the students from coming out in huge numbers. Also I think there will be quite a few more alums and fans there because it's the home opener, first game, and they'll want to see the throwbacks.

If North Texas were playing Texas Tech (as SMU is now on ESPN) you would see our first S.R.O. crowd of about 35,000 (give/take) or...how many more the fire marshall would allow at Apogee.

Doesn't it make you wonder why we NEVER get a marque team into Apogee?

It should,

Not sure it's bringing much energy to Denton outside of UNT. Have been driving and around town all week and if you didn't know there was a game tomorrow, pretty certain you wouldn't realize it being around the downtown for sure. Shocked at how little promotions there are down town with so many now living there. And to think this is a huge celebration.

28K. I've heard they had to overflow students. There's a lot of buzz around this game. Just had a random customer at work tell me he was bringing 10.

Students will be here in force. Frankly, I wouldn't even be surprised with UH level attendance.

People are football crazy right now, people are underestimating how many people want to see live football, throwback uniforms, anniversary, Worm, first game of the season...way underestimating how many people will be at this game. There's a lot of buzz.

There was plenty of people at the SMU game despite the heat.

At my Hudson Oaks (Weatherford) Walmart, the guy behind the deli saw my Mean Green shirt the other day and he said his UNT freshman daughter and her UNT friends were fired up about going to the game at Apogee Stadium He said if he didn't have to work he would have come up for the game himself.

Do parents of UNT students still get a discount?

I think the UNT student body who will by the 2'nd quarter fill the entire east stadium will cause Idaho to have to call a couple of time outs they will get so loud.

There will be good attendance on both sides.

      You could not be more misinformed on the stadium side. I lived in Katy in 2017 when they built the $70.3 million dollar stadium right next door to their old stadium that while at time could fill up was not full for football on most Fridays. This is the stadium that is often credited with the stadium building boom (though Northwest ISD did this model many years before) Colossal waste of money correct? That was what I thought but I found out that is was not. At the time Katy had 5 high schools and had 2 more under construction with one completed and waiting to open. The district is so big that it creates it own UIL district. Prior to the new stadium all games were played at Rhodes Stadium (9,768 seats), 3 games a week. Games would start on Thursday and end Saturday. With the new schools opening they would not be able to play all the games. Options considered were building stadiums at the schools at a cost of around $25M per school, or pool the money and build 1 state of the art facility. The choice was clear. Now on any given game night you had a game at the new Legacy Stadium (12,000 seats) and one at Rhodes Stadium still have to play on Saturday but gets the games completed. In the Spring Soccer takes over and the stadium. Students run the stadium as part of their classes - Scoreboard, audio/visual, and concessions with adult supervision of course. I would say that on any given week the stadium is used 6 of the 7 days during the school year. Varsity and JV sports, Band, Cheer, and events. It is even opened up for peewee sports. It is used for playoffs in both football and soccer. During the summer it host camps.

      Easy to look at it through those optics, but all of that stuff is paid for by bonds that people in those districts vote for. The vouchers were railroaded by congress despite overwhelming opposition (including significant opposition from conservatives/republicans).

      2025 Roster Construction

      Overall, I feel OK about recruiting so far. There are concerns for sure, but there's some good size and defense, and there are at least 2-3 guys who have the potential to step up and become major scoring threats. If the final two spots go to guys who are projects or just depth to fill out a roster, I'll downgrade my assessment to meh. But, if one of those spots is a proven, double-digit-scoring 2-guard with a strong 3-point % who was a starter from a respectable mid-major program, then I'm going to get really excited. Most likely we'll end up with something in between these scenarios. Some stray thoughts: There are a lot of articles discussing how the market is insane this year. Mid-major rotation guys are getting like $200,000 to just serve as way down the bench depth on a loaded power conference team. Thus, I don't think we'd be able to afford Atin Wright this year--and we can't really blame Robinson, if he ends up not being able to reel in the equivalent this off-season. Also, we should be more excited about the Cleveland State guys. They're not "just" Horizon level players. At least two of them likely would have portaled to a better conference (AAC or higher) anyway, and I suspect they took a pay cut to stick with their coach. Plus, the continuity that they'll bring (along with a couple familiar coaches) could help us win a game or two in the early non-con that we will be thumping our chests about by the end of the season.
