I have been parking in the Orange Lot for football and basketball games for the past 10 years.  During last nights basketball game I was issued a $35.00 citation for unauthorized visitor parking.  Anyone else get one of these souvenirs?  I noticed several other vehicles on the same row I parked on with citations.

Where is the orange lot? I think fouts field parking  lot is for basketball games.

Yeah I got one too. I've been going to about 4 basketball games a year for the last 3 years and have never had a problem.

I swear on the athletics website 2 or 3 years ago, they had a section on the men's basketball page, saying that anywhere in the Fouts parking lot (lot 20) was free to park in for basketball games. 

But looking at their website now all it says is "North Texas Athletics and the Mean Green Scholarship Fund offer a variety of parking options on Mean Green basketball gamedays. Eligible members must be a men’s or women’s basketball season-ticket holder in order to receive season-parking benefits."

This is where you are directed to park per the UNT Athletics web site:

SUPER PIT PARKING

Free Parking for North Texas Basketball Games

Where were these citations being issued? 

I got one smack dab in the middle of lot 20. Parked somewhere around here. Im going to call the parking office today and see if I can get it appealed, because I thought basketball parking was free.

That is exactly where the UNT site tells you to park for FREE at basketball games. I posted the PARKING FOR UNT BASKETBALL link above.

I wonder if Campus PD snuck in some policy changes without Jared's approval/involvement.

Yeah I read their Campus parking policy PDF, and there's literally nothing about game day parking for basketball games, only football game day parking

They can only ethically enforce that if they first revise the parking directions on all the university web sites.

Where are we "supposed" to park??

Yeah that's the confusing part, the super pit parking info page on the athletics website is not very well put together. (Which as a side note, is pretty dang hard to find)

but it doesn't say explicitly where to park. Other than having parking lot 20 highlighted in the picture, it doesn't say "Park in lot 20 for free on basketball game day"

I'd like to know the outcome of any disputes. Last year I brought 12 with me as the only UNT connection to a game in 3 different cars. I'd hate for family/friends to go to a game only for them to get parking tickets. If I get a BS ticket for messing up, I'll figure it out but I can't invite people and have them drive away with a ticket. This is not the way to grow a program.

I work with UNT's Transportation Services group and we are in the process of correcting this issue, which was a miscommunication with one of our team. Those who parked in Lot 20 for the Nov. 7 basketball game should not have been given citations. Parking is free for those games. If that ever changes we will advertise in advance. If you are on Instagram, X or Facebook you can always follow us: @UNTTransit for information about parking. If you have any questions please call our customer service reps at 940-565-3020.

I think posting a link is better and easier, but maybe it's really hard on some of your devices to copy-paste, and you'd rather just screen-shoot and manually upload the file.
 

 

I agree but when I tried to post the link it would not work. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it wont. My apologies...

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Here's what the conference tournament would look like if it started today. Finishing 2nd or 3rd is the difference between having to win just two games in two days, or four games in four days. Wednesday, May 8 - First Round Game 1: No. 5 Wichita State vs No. 8 South Florida - 10 a.m. (ESPN+) Game 2: No. 4 Tulsa vs No. 9 UTSA - 1 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 3: No. 6 UAB vs No. 7 East Carolina - 4 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 4: No. 10 Memphis vs No. 3 North Texas - 7 p.m. (ESPN+) Thursday, May 9 - Second Round Game 5: Winner WSU/USF vs Winner Tulsa/UTSA - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 6: Winner UAB/ECU vs Winner Memphis/UNT - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Friday, May 10 - Semifinals Game 7: Winner WSU/USF/Tulsa/UTSA vs No. 1 FAU - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 8: Winner UAB/ECU/Memphis/UNT vs No. 2 Charlotte - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Saturday, May 11 - Championship Game 9: Winner Game 7 vs Winner Game 8 - 11 a.m. (ESPN2)
