we didnt need a whole new stadium. UNT had no choice. good for them. but you putting up old pics of our stadium is not accurate. I still don't think that our renovated stadium will be as nice as theirs but I don't think the difference will be all that great either. And when the research campus is complete, our campus, which already is nicer than theirs will blow them and you i might add away. And our Endzone building will be followed by a new press box. This Endzone building will accomodate suites and training facilities and club rooms. That is all the same stuff that UNT will have in their new stadium. Other than that its just bleachers. We already have a kick arse jumbotron. and I might also add that your stadium which you don't even own is a rat hole. Bigger yes but still a rat hole. I went to the Liberty bowl and couldn't believe what a dump the place is. UNT's new stadium will be a hell of alot nicer than what you play in, does this mean they should go to the Big East instead of you. Hell FAU's new stadium is a hell of alot nicer than what you play in, maybe they should be considered before you. After all they are actually in the East. I don't think its vital that we be the best, just important that we keep up, and Tech has upgraded every last one of it's facilities. You guys havent had to do anything to facilities because you rent everything from the city. You own nothing. And when you go to a football game in Ruston you don't have to worry about getting shot.

Your stadium will not be anywhere near what UNT's new stadium will be. UNT has all new facilites that frankly, blow anything LT has out of the water. UNT is a huge metro area and Denton is 6 times the size of Rusting, I mean Ruston.

If you want to look at our facilties below is a link...

Please I was just at your campus this weekend. While our sports facilities sit in rolling hills and lush pines, your so called village sits on a dry plain, that frankly looks a little depressing. When all the final touches are put on the new soccer field, softball field, new tennis courts and new track, not to mention our finished product football stadium. Our Athletic village will make yours look like sad. Other than the beautiful football field, which lets face it, you guys really didn't have a choice but to invest in it because Fouts had to go, the rest of your facilities all sit on an interstate and built in the middle of a white trash neighborhood in the back and dry barren land. It's down right depressing. It's the same with this so called beautiful campus you guys keep talking about. NOOOOO. It is surrounded by strip malls and run down shops. There is barely a tree to be found and other than the clock tower, most of your buildings need to be remodeled. and it all sits in the beautiful confines of I35 plowing right through it. TWU actually sits in a better location than UNT. Like someone said earlier, everybody is investing in facility upgrades these days. Conferences don't come calling on facilities alone. You have to have branding recognition, and I think that is something we have succeeded at much better than you. And do you really think that being the number 7 product in a major metroplex means any more than being the number two product in all of N. Louisiana. We brought 41k out to the Indy bowl. Did you guys ever bring that to any of the bowls you went to. 2k of those people were there for N. Illinois. No denying that your new stadium is going to be impressive and I am more than happy for you.

You keep your lush pines and rolling hills, and we will keep out new 78 million dollar stadium and I hope you enjoy being FCS when you don't get into the Sun Belt or CUSA and are passed over for UNT or a number of other schools. Your town has 20k people in it. You don't have all of N. Louisiana. You don't have all of Rusting. You don't sit in a media market. You are in the middle of nowhere and nobody cares about your awful school, in your awful town.....
