1. Our campus is really pretty to begin with. Go UNT.

2. One day our children may live in Sack-N-Save Hall or IHOP Hall.

3. All that beautification but they don't demolish College Inn????

4. I LOVE that one of our brick colors is called Burnt Pumpkin by ACME Brick.

Hasn't CI been scheduled for demolition like 3 times until the semester before it was supposed to happen? I was under the impression that one big reason they held off was because the sororities wouldn't have other meeting space...and now they all have houses.

Well.. I guess TexDot took care of the issue regarding the property on the corner of 35 and North Texas.. The new expansion of 35 conveniently shows that both the Exxon on the corner and the longstanding McDonalds would need to be moved due to expansion. Therefore it will certainly both depress the cost of those properties and squash any potential legal fight of UNT trying to just imminent domaining the property at a weak price.

Finally! I've been holding off on making my really big Master Plan post presentation for GMG.com to make sure the documents I had from meetings last year would be the same as the completed and final plan....

...and they pretty much are!

Now, to Prezi!

I would strongly recommend people to look at the pages around 120 or so to get a gauge of where the university wants to go in the future..

And if people don't already know, a sand volleyball complex is on the high priority build category..

Something else to keep an eye on is the section that talks about how the university will be planning on branding the entryways into campus better and the push to change the orientation of what is considered the "front' of campus from both a branding perspective and a traffic flow perspective.. .

Lots of cool things in there..

I've heard the reason they keep college inn around is it's the only dorm that is completely paid off so any rent money they get there is pure profit. I lived there and from the inside it is the same as any other dorm, but I agree it is an eye sore on the outside. No worse than that awful gas station down the street though.

Two things I noticed:

- They've decided they don't need a tennis "Center Court", and want use the space for an indoor tennis facility.

- There's no Opera Hall, which had previously been assumed to go where Fouts Field is.

Very good catch!

The opera hall was only ever a faint gleam in an opera chair's eye at the time.

Then the Winspear in Dallas was built.

This plan is epic. I really hope they manage to implement most of it in the next 10 years...actually defining the outside of campus with greenbelts and entry signs is going to be really cool...

Also interesting the way they show Apogee stadium being expanded....I'm guessing that entails getting rid of the wingzone and then completing the bowl, thought that is difficult to show on a drawing.

The wing zone is really a signature feature of the stadium. I bet they try to somehow keep that visual when they eventually expand. I do love the idea of creating an epic entry way to the school from the west. Basically, I like the idea of getting rid of cement city. I lived there for three years there's better uses of that land so close to campus.

The Wing Zone is not, and I repeat, not where the expansion happens. The Wing zone will remain with an expansion to 50,000. The expansion is above the student section, bringing the stadium to 50K. That is the stadium's trademark and they won't get rid of it. Don't understand why everyone thinks that way. Even the two buildings in the concourse that are wing zone are shaped that way as are the pieces on the roof of the bridge. It's a design element.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.
