A new football stadium for the University of North Texas is about to become a reality. Plans for the stadium passed their final hurdle Thursday when the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the proposal.
A public groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled Nov. 21, prior to the UNT-Army game, and the Mean Green will move into the new facility for the 2011 season.
The new stadium will replace 57-year-old Fouts Field, and will be the first collegiate football stadium designed by award-winning HKS Inc.
The new stadium will be the centerpiece in UNT's Mean Green Village. Plans for the multi-purpose facility include increased tailgating space, capacity for about 30,000 fans, luxury suites, an amenity-filled club level, a Spirit Store, a corporate deck and a Touchdown Terrace. In addition to hosting UNT events, it will serve the entire North Texas region as a venue for outdoor concerts, community events, high school games and band competitions.
This is what $78 Million looks like!
