  1. This is a heavy question and before I even ask, when was the last time UNT had a sold out football game in its history?

    I don't expect the Cal game this year will sell out, although I don't believe that's to say the fan atmosphere won't be the most full and energetic than any home game these past few years. I guess my question really boils down to what does UNT need to build in order to sell out a football game? A top 25 appearance? More student involvement? More incentives to come to games? 

    This has been discussed endlessly but I am curious to hear your thoughts

  2. The only thing SMU does that could be deemed attractive is that it's in a perfect location for media revenue. Other than that, there really isn't that much of a divide between UNT and SMU. Sure the student body at SMU is vastly more wealthy and definitely more suitable for appealing towards college athletics, but as seen through attendance, that factor has failed to benefit SMU. 

    The campus may be much more beautiful and prestigious than UNT, however I wouldn't consider UNT an "ugly" campus, so the benefits are very limited to this regard. 

    Lastly, while SMU definitely has an edge in recruiting, it's not the massive separation between UNT that you'd imagine they'd have at first glance. If this trend continues through the 20's and 30's, I have no doubt that UNT will surpass SMU in athletic and overall appeal on a national level.

     

    Sure, UNT will likely never be able to rival SMU in regards to financial aspects, but at the end of the day, who gives a sh%t? UNT's diversity and appeal towards "the university for all" kinda goes against SMU's aspect and I think great things are ahead for UNT.

  3. I take back everything I said regarding the Frisco Roughriders. Went to a game recently and the development surrounding the stadium has really helped enlighten activity around the environment. The atmosphere felt very progressive when speaking in terms of sporting environments across the U.S. 

     

    Hoping we see similar lifestyle development continue to pop up around Global Life Field.

  4. If you're confused of what I mean, the first picture is representative of what 90 percent of MILB stadiums look like across America... Mix used, well integrated within a neighborhood, plentiful of activities, vibrant atmosphere, etc... The second photo is what minor league stadiums in Texas look like... That's the largest city in Texas btw

  5. Hey there! I am planning on bringing my dad down to Texas during early August when I return for college. Are there any baseball stadiums in Texas that aren't in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by miles of asphalt parking? I am trying to find a cultured environment to take my dad to instead of just some boring atmosphere. Does Texas have any stadiums located within relatively entertaining or human friendly areas? Thanks
