[kepdawg]

The new $10 per credit hour fee will cap at 15 semester credit hours and will not be implemented until the stadium is complete, which is expected to be in the fall of 2011.

the students voted to enact an athletic fee to build a new stadium for the University of North Texas.

The stadium is slated to be finished in time for the 2011 season.

This is good news because our current stadium is 56 years old and a total dump.

oops I didn't see that

No sweat. It's certainly not the first time it's happened on here.

LOL. No wonder they voted it in. Most of them will be gone by the time the fee kicks in. And something tells me the parents that actually pay those fees didnt get a vote. LOL

Niiiice. When I went there back in the day, I don't think we even had the end zone sections. Which wasn't really a problem because we didn't fill up the sections we had.

yea they built the endzone seats in the mid-90s to meet the ncaa requirements for us to move up to division 1..

People still don't sit in the endzone seats though because you can barely see whats going on with how far they are from the field

Sounds about right. I graduated in '91, but I remember it coming out in the all the alum stuff--especially the alum stuff asking for donations.

I remember the games I went to I always somehow ended up staring straight into the sun, and with those all-metallic bleachers it was blinding. And HOT.

yea the student side faces the setting sun which is not much fun. I'm lucky enough to get to sit in the press box now so I got it made

Yeah, I'm thinking I might have made more of an effort if it hadn't been for the fry factor in those seats. Of course, it wasn't until a year of living with slpybear forced me to actually learn the rules of the game that I learned to love football, so maybe not.

Where will this be located at ? at same spot or across where the radison is?
