Moved in a relative to UNT’s campus this past weekend, and after a few years since my last visit I have to say it’s grown a lot and they have certainly been improving all of their facilities.

Stadium still looks great think it was in 2011 or so they built it. UH had the record crowd for it for awhile not sure if that stands.

What’s new is they have an IPF and look like they’re upgrading basketball as well.

Denton is probably the closest thing other than Greenville to a college town in the AAC and I think when Houston plays UNT next month a lot of American fans will be surprised at the support behind the mean green.

I actually would have added them before Tulsa/Tulane but I suppose markets had more to do with that than programs and investment.

They’d be natural rivals for UH and SMU and if the AAC plans on moving to DFW don’t see how having another large public with almost 40k enrollment and nice facilities could hurt. UNT has decent market share in the Dallas area everyone knows of them they’re just rarely good but that could change, they’re no worse than UConn is, actually quite a bit better, and like I said it’s an actual college town with decent support.

Side note: Underpass before their campus off I-35 has a big eagle seal that lights up at night neon green.. perks of being in a college town your city actually cares about marketing you. UH just has the generic green sign “Cullen Blvd University of houston exit only” or something.


Boy I’m tired of offseason.
