DENTON, Texas – UNT Athletics Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley has announced the department's push to #SelloutDATCU for the Mean Green's next home game on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 6 pm against Wyoming.
With less than 10 days until kickoff, the Mean Green have already sold more than 20,000 tickets. Capacity at DATCU Stadium is 30,100.
As part of the effort, Denton-based Peterbilt Motor Co. has purchased 2,000 tickets to distribute to employees. The game will also be a centerpiece event for UNT's annual family weekend and will serve as the department's yearly DATCU Day – celebrating the long-term partnership with the local credit union.
"We are looking forward to being back at home for the Wyoming game in two weeks and all the events surrounding that day," Mosley said. "It has been exciting to see the Denton community mobilize and get behind this effort to record our first-ever sellout of DATCU Stadium. We are especially thankful to local leaders like Peterbilt Motor Co., DATCU and others for the support in our goals."
Fans can visit SelloutDATCU.com for up-to-date numbers of tickets sold as the push for a capacity crowd continues. A crowd of 23,510 Mean Green fans were in attendance for the season-opening win over Stephen F. Austin on Sept. 7, including more than 6,400 students.
The game will be a Green Out for all fans in attendance. Additionally, special rewards and giveaways will be released to UNT students as ticket claim thresholds are reached starting at 1,000 and culminating with a new record over 9,000.
Local ISD Education Foundation partnerships with Denton, Sanger and Lewisville have been implemented with a portion of ticket proceeds purchased by these groups being donated back to support local students.
Reunions scheduled for the weekend include a celebration of UNT's 1994 and 2004 championship teams, including a visit from hall of fame former head coach Darrell Dickey, as well as a gathering of patrons at former Denton favorite, State Club. UNT spirit teams are also hosting Junior Mean Green Day.
