Im not talking out of my ass. Take a look at the links below and tell me how similar they are. It just seems to me that if you are going to spend money on a new stadium make something that would really appeal to recruits. In dont know,maybe that is all they could afford so i'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Thats my opinion. But then again, I'm talking outof my ass and have no clue what I am saying.

http://www.texasbob.com/stadium/stadium.php?id=1292 All those stadiums have a seating capacity of less than 20,000. So how did you prove a point with those examples?
UNT stadium holds 30,000

UNT stadium holds 30,000 But you gotta admit that 30k really doesn't cut it unless you're ok with being just below the big time D1 programs. It would be silly for UNT to build a giant 80k seat stadium that wouldn't even be half filled, but they have talked about taking the program to the next level in the past..

I agree, but they are similar. they need something that really stands out. Not only is north texas a division 1 school, it is the 4th largest university in texas, so a 30,000 seat stadium seems kinda small. But I guess you have to start somewhere. but whatever they build will be better than Fouts field.

Not the most popular football program in North Texas:D
If they ever do become a powerhouse then I guess they will have to add on.

I don't know why don't you compare the two.

The only thing that makes it look like a college stadium is the end zone seating which I still cant't figure out why they made it that design.


This is what North Texas SHOULD have gone with.
