Near 31,000

Very nice. All the Mean Green fans should be really pleased with the facility. Should really help attendance and recruiting.

Don't recall if this has been mentioned, but the stadium will have a THIRD locker room so the Mean Green locker room will not be used for any games not involving the Mean Green. High school playoff games, etc.

What's up with the black letters in the endzone?

First of all, very nice. Congratulations. I think on the sides it looks like SMU's Ford Field, which is probably one of the nicest Non-BCS stadiums in the country. The endzone seating is very unique.

I hope that La. Tech and N. Texas (and any other Sunbelt school including ULM) start playing each other again. Tech has a large alumni base in Dallas and recruits there. Makes sense to try to play a game there every once in a while.

It looks really good. The ONLY thing I see that could have been done more with what you've there is the space between the lower bleachers and the upper bleachers seems under utilized. Not sure why it was done the way it is with two sets of steps leading up to an aisle for not that many rows in the upper set of bleachers. I know Floyd has a lot of open air boxes at the top of its lower bleacher sections and just underneath the upper deck. Not a criticism, just a comment.

SpaceRaider, my guess is the design has something to do with future expansion, it it's ever needed. That side would get an upper deck and the design could be for the placement of the upper deck columns. Again, just an uneducated guess on my part. I know that the wing zone was built for easy removal should the need arise to bowl in the end zone completely.

I like the space between the upper and lower bowl. It's going to keep me from having to look at people walk around, when I'm trying to watch the game. From what I've been told, the two stair system will allow for easier and quicker entering and exiting of the stadium. These guys designed the Dallas Cowboy's stadium. I trust they know what they are doing.

I've been questioning that too. I always thought UNT's colors were green and white, with an occasional black accent color.
