King DL's photo of the press box side of Fouts brought something to mind. I've always wondered why the 50 yard line seats, the best in the house, are not the ones fitted with the theater style seats. Seems logical that section E, especially lower section E (where I sit) would have the theater type seats instead of the section next to section E (section D).

Why "especially" the section where you sit? Something "special" about where you sit? Just wondering???? I think we should add theater seating in several sections...those "cahirbacks" are not all that comfortable. How much more are you willing to pay to have "comfy" seats???? Maybe it's a factor of age??? My rear-end was not as "picky" about seating when I was 25! How about you? :lol:

I agree with KRAM and it seems that would be a waste of seats since many of those stand throughout the game anyway. If Emmitt, Zeke, et al could stand through Dickeyball, imagine what they'll do under Dodgeball.

Well, I was kidding about the seats in my section being "special." But section E does require the greatest donation to the Mean Green Club. I just WONDERED why section D was chosen to have theater seats and not X,Y, or Z. As far as paying for comfy seats, I sat there when the seats were made of wood. Aluminum was a welcome upgrade. Today, I get the bolted in chair backs. I expect to pay more for a better and better Mean Green product. The good stuff always costs more.

By the way, I stopped by Fouts on the way home from Church. King DL's photos got me interested. I don't know what's palnned for a fence jon the I-35 side, but it looks nice without it.

Then, I parked and walked in. There's been a lot of work done to the men's restroom. The "troughs" are gone and there is some roughed in plumbing waiting for something to be completed. The stalls around the toilets are gone, but the toilets are still there and they're wrapped in painter's paper, indicating there will be some painting going on. The sinks are also covered in paper. Doors were removed also. I don't know if they being replaced or just removed during the remodeling. The floor drains have been jack hammered up as well.

Thanks Boise

Thanks for the report Joe!

I was wondering the same, but I was not in a position to get out and look around when I took the pictures yesterday. It really feels like things are coming together on a much larger level then I ever remember.

Did you notice some of the new test spots of the brighter green on the pillars?

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      Just because Nike says it to be so doesn't make it so. Just because UK and John Calipari got in a dick swinging contest to nab Johnell Davis doesn't make Johnell Davis worth 1M. Value is based upon returns, not simply what someone is willing to pay for something. This isn't the service or retail industry. Johnell Davis will not increase ticket sales or viewership. In collegiate sports, very few players have that impact due to the structure of the collegiate game.

      Women's Golf: Bermuda Run Regional

      https://meangreensports.com/news/2024/5/7/blistering-round-puts-womens-golf-in-hunt-for-nationals BERMUDA RUN, N.C. - A strong finish to Tuesday's second round at the NCAA Regional at Bermuda Run Country Club put the UNT women's golf squarely in the hunt for a top-five finish on Wednesday, which would earn a spot in the NCAA Championship later this month. The Mean Green fired a 7-under 281 to tie for the second-best round of the day and enter Wednesday's final round in sixth place at 2-under par, just two shots back of fifth-place Tennessee and three shots back of fourth-place Mississippi State. The top five teams after Wednesday's final round will advance to the NCAA Championship on May 17-22, in Carlsbad, California.

      UNT Basketball: 2023 Pac-12 All Freshman Grant Newell Signs

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team has signed former Pac-12 All-Freshman forward Grant Newell. The transfer joins the Mean Green after playing two seasons at California where he started 39 games for the Golden Bears, scored in double figures 14 times and was named to the conference's all-freshman team honorable mention in 2023 after receiving three votes from league head coaches. Newell was one of just seven Pac-12 freshmen to earn at least three votes. He will have two years of eligibility remaining. The 6-foot-9 Chicago native played in a total of 63 games over the two years for Cal and averaged 6.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per contest over those two seasons. The big man showed his range as he knocked down 39 3-pointers too. Newell has recorded three double-doubles in his career, all against Pac-12 opponents, including a 21-point and 10-rebound performance at Washington as a freshman. He was 10-of-18 from the floor in the game. Newell had another double-double his freshman season against Colorado when he pulled down a career-high 12 rebounds to go along with 13 points. Newell became the first Cal freshman since Jaylen Brown in 2016 to record multiple double-doubles in a season. He also had a double-double last year with an 11-point and 10-rebound performance against rival Stanford. Newell graduated from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, in 2022. Prior to that he played at Whitney Young High School in Chicago where he was an All-City Special Mention in 2021. Newell was a three-star prospect by ESPN and held offers to DePaul, South Florida, Nevada, St. Bonaventure, East Carolina, Kent State and Youngstown State in addition to Cal coming out of IMG. This summer he chose North Texas over UAB, Charlotte, Wichita State, Rice, East Carolina, Tulsa, Arizona State, Saint Mary’s, Stanford and New Mexico among others. Newell joins a North Texas signing class that includes incoming freshman Tyran Mason (Plano HS) and transfers Jasper Floyd (Fairfield), Latrell Jossell (SFA), Johnathan Massie (Longwood), Brock Vice (Creighton) and Atin Wright (Drake). For more information on UNT men's basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
