UNT Super Pit Facts, Top Attendance Figures, Etc. From Wikipedia

Rabbitt  Chasin’ As Always…

One of our alums pointed this page out to me at the game the other day.  Some interesting stuff with various venue seating differences.  I’ve  seen the Super Pit said to have seating from 9,797 up to 10,500 seats thru the years.  Not really sure what it is now. 
 

The other day walking up the steps to the coliseum outdoor concourse I noticed the concrete on the facing of the steps was chipping away pretty badly. Looks to me like they’ll need repairing soon.  
••• Not sure if it’s just me, but the sound system & lighting are in dire need for improvement, too. Is it just me?🧐

I think AD Wren Baker’s 1’st priority is not the Super Pit, though.  He seems to have the expansion of the Athletic Center/End Zone facility at the top of his list & has said as much.  The Athletic Center expansion will house several services for both UNT Men & Women Varsity Athletics. 

Note:      
••• I did notice UH’s Fertitta Center seats only 7,500.
•••UT’s new BB venue will seat 10,000 & be expandable to 15,000.       
••• SMU Moody Coliseum seats 7,000.

It's not just you. These two were bad when I was a student back in 04-08. They've band-aided it a bit since, but that's about it. Through the fact that the AD doesn't own the building, the building can't support it, or both, neither of those will be rectified anytime soon.

Lighting looks terrible on TV.

And yep people think we can still just renovate it. I love the pit but it’s just not a feasible option. The Athletic Center expansion should be first though

That wikipedia page says Apogee Attendance even though it refers to basketball.

I had thought that the Houston home game that got moved to the Superpit might be on the list but when I looked back the attendance was 4100 or so. Penders did say it was a big win for them though. That game probably had the most fans of any opponent as many UH fans took in the Basketball/Football doubleheader in the Metroplex.
