It's Halloween At Apogee Stadium

North Texas will host the Rice Owls on Thursday, October 31, in a special nationally-televised Halloween-night game between two of the leaders of Conference USA's West Division. Game time is set for 6:30 p.m., but there will be plenty of activities leading up to kickoff.

Fall Carnival And Trick-Or-Treat Prior To The Game

It wouldn't be Halloween without Trick-or-Treat for the kids, so we're going to host a Fall Carnival behind the wing-shaped north endzone section. All children will receive a backpack to fill with candy and prizes. There will be games hosted by various North Texas athletic teams, a bounce house, and candy handed out by Mean Green student-athletes to children in costume. The carnival and trick-or-treat will get underway at 5 p.m.

Wear Black Or Wear Green

Fans are encouraged to wear black or green for the Halloween-night game, and several local retailers, including Barnes and Nobles, Voertman's, Barefoot Athletics, Walmart, Target, Shop.MeanGreenSports.com, and the Mean Green Stadium Store have black and green T-shirts for the occasion.

Free Admission For Children Under 14 in Costume

Children under 14 in costume receive free admission to the game. Just go to one of the ticket booths and receive a free general-admission ticket.

Win A Car From Bill Utter Ford

One fan will be selected for a chance to win a Ford Fusion from Bill Utter Ford. Starting from the end zone, the contestant will punt once; move to the spot of the punt and pass the ball once; and then from that final spot must successfully kick a field goal. Click here to register for a chance to take the field and win a Ford Fusion.

C-USA Food Drive Competition

The Student Athletic Advisory Council is competing in a canned food drive against other schools in Conference USA. The school that collects the most canned food (measured by weight) will be given a cash prize by Conference USA. Collection receptacles will be placed outside each gate of the stadium for fans to donate. All of the canned food donated will go to Denton-area charities, including the North Texas Food Bank and the Salvation Army.

Nice line up of activities and events. Hope the weather holds and makes it another great evening at Apogee...that and beating Rice and all.

[Texas Stranger]

Weather for now looks to be OK. Both long-range models (GFS and Euro) have a cut-off low moving through with rain chances on Tuesday or Tuesday night, followed by a fairly strong cold front on Wednesday. By Thursday night, it should be cool probably in the 50's during the game but dry.

I know it would spoil the surprise a little bit, but I kinda wish the AD would leak a teaser to generate hype. I think stuff like that goes a long way. Here's one that the froggies did prior to this season: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFWeCyFLag
