UNT regents to meet regarding
the future of Fouts Field for 2017
ffh Sm
the Mean Green Athletic Center.
UNT track coach Carl Sheffield
said this summer that the school
expected to break ground on the
venue this fall.
The direction UNT would
take on a number of issues came
into question over the past few
months after long-time athletic
director Rick Villarreal stepped
down this spring.
Wren Baker, the former in-
terim athletic director at Mis-
souri, will take over at UNT later
this month.
UNT’s regents will vote this
week on approving two key pro-
jects that would take place early
in Baker’s tenure.

The North Texas board of re-
gents will consider a capital im-
provement plan for 2017 on
Thursday that includes the de-
molition of the remaining half of
Fouts Field and the construction
of a new track venue at the
school.
Both items are included on
the regents agenda.
UNT’s football team gradual-
ly moved out of Fouts over the
past 15 years. The Mean Green
moved to the Darrell R. Dickey
Football Practice Facility for
workouts shortly after the Mean
Green Athletic Center opened in
2005.

UNT’s track team has used
one of the old football locker
rooms since the football team
moved to its new facilities. UNT
has long wanted to move its
track program out of Fouts to
clear the way for the school to
develop the large chunk of land
the stadium occupies.
The property sits in a prime
location near Interstate 35E.
UNT demolished a large
chunk of Fouts in the summer of
2013.

the match, but Marcus used a
4-1 spurt to snatch the second
set away 27-25.
The third set had the same
score as the first and panned out
just as similarly as Marcus
opened with a 9-3 lead. Denton
battled back with a 3-0 run, but
Marcus was right there to shut
the door with a 10-3 run of its
own to take a 19-9 lead.
Marcus finished the match
off with a 5-2 run, using its serv-
ing to keep Denton’s defense off
balance and also slow down its
offense, often times seeing the
Lady Broncos just trying to
avoid a fourth touch.
At times, it seemed Denton
slipped into a lull after a few
points against them, and that is
something Denton coach Ger-
ry Standridge said is first on
their list to fix before the Lady
Broncos enter this weekend’s
Northwest ISD Classic tourna-
ment.
We struggled all over the
place, every facet of the game,
from energy, to passing, to de-
fense,” Standridge said. “Every-
thing struggled. We got down,
and we didn’t maintain our en-
ergy level. [Marcus] just hit the
ball. They had much more ener-
gy than we did. That’s what we
have to work on.”
