EDITOR’S NOTE: North Texas will reach the five-year anniversary of its first game at Apogee Stadium this fall. Over the next three days, the Denton Record-Chronicle will examine the state of UNT’s program as it reaches a milestone that coincides with a critical point in program history. Today’s story focuses on the facilities arms race among UNT and the schools it competes with in the region.

Optimism about North Texas’ athletic program reached new heights on a warm summer afternoon in 2011 when the school announced a naming rights deal for its brand-new football stadium.

Louisiana Tech, Rice and Houston are among the schools that have responded with major facility upgrades since UNT opened Apogee, which hasn’t made the impact that school officials and fans hoped it might.
