This is my first post.   Cool.  So, using some internet magic, UNT owns this land it seems.   So it  seems it is within the universities power to make it not an eyesore (AKA make it an alternative tailgate place or something else cool).

It was where the proposed convention center that's currently being completed up in Rayzor Ranch was slated to be as a public-private partnership.

I like the idea of the food trucks or even the visitors tailgate... As far as the whole basketball arena talk, I know they are going to be renovating the Coliseum in order to modernize it, so if they were to construct a new basketball arena it wouldn't be anytime soon. But I do see a ton of possibilities coming soon for that land... hopefully the Mean Green Village expands a ton in the future!

I think that is the official tailgating equipment drop off spot.  (For people tailgating on the hill that don't have Victory lot parking.)

 eye-soar for UNT,

If this was an intentional eagle-pun, thumbs up you sir.

I think a state-of-the-art basketball arena next to apogee would be terrific...fully moving athletics across 35. As long as parking is accounted for and isn't an issue, this would help continue to "complete" the athletic village into something quite special.

In addition to a basketball arena you would also need a natatorium south of I35 to fully move athletics.

I had a feeling I was missing something. Guess we should throw in golf as well while we're at it. Nonetheless, I think having the basketball arena there would make the village something special despite not technically having all sports over there.

I know what should go there...

[shootermcgavin44]

it was staff parking for the old hotel next to the number 9 green at eagle point national

Build a bar that can be run by UNT Hospitality students on game day.  Large patio area for tailgating.

3. a 20 ft statue of Scrappy - as fans come across the bridge, they can rub Scrappy for Good Luck as they enter the "Mean Green Village"  I get credit for this idea....

Let's just wait until the next Scrappy costume comes out before we drop a ton of $ on a bronze statue of Scrappy.

Let's go back to the previous Scrappy.

That poor costume looked like it had been dragged over a mile of coarse sandpaper.  It was time to go.  

But nekkid Eugene Levy Scrappy is not to be celebrated forever.

[UNTLifer]

Not the old costume, but that same look with a new costume.  That crap we have now looks cheap and disturbing.

Klansman Scrappy?   I don't think so. 

You need to go back a couple Scrappies:

[UNTLifer]

That's the one. He needs the jersey, shoes, etc...  BTW, don't you think "klansman" Scrappy is a little over the top?
