History
Early planning and finance
In September 2002, the University of North Texas purchased 19 acres (7.7 ha) on the opposite side of Interstate 35E from the main campus in Denton from Liberty Christian School for $5.1 million.[12] The university also owned an adjacent 158-acre (64 ha) golf course.[13] Following the football team's victory at the 2002 New Orleans Bowl, school administrators announced their intent to build an assortment of new athletic facilities on the properties, now called the Mean Green Village. These plans included a new football stadium to replace Fouts Field, where the school's football team had been based since 1952. Richard Raefs, vice chancellor of administrative affairs at UNT, stated that the project's primary objective was the consolidation of academic facilities and that renovating Fouts Field would cost $8 million more than building an entirely new stadium.[14]

In 2008, the athletic department tried again to increase the athletics fee to pay for the new stadium, which now had an estimated cost of $60 million. UNT
The athletic department made a concerted effort to promote the higher fee to students, and supporters suggested hiring street preachers or troubadours to promote the election.[21] Making the case for the fee prior to the election, athletic director Rick Villareal said that the stadium was "not some arms race for us" and that the fee's objective was not just to keep up with other universities.[22]
The referendum was held between October 13–17, 2008. Students voted for or against the proposal:
In order for the University of North Texas to have a better Athletic program, which in turn can lead to national exposure and increased recognition of UNT; I agree to a dedicated Athletic Fee not to exceed $10 per semester credit hour, capped at 15 hours. Once the Athletic Fee is implemented, the Student Service Fee will be reduced by $3 per semester credit hour. The Athletic Fee shall not be implemented until the semester the new football stadium is complete, which is expected to be fall 2011.[23]
On October 21, 2008, the UNT SGA announced that in one of the largest turnouts in the school's history, student voters approved a dedicated athletic fee to fund the new stadium. Almost 14% of the student body voted, with 2,829 students (58.1%) voting for the increase and 2,038 (41.9%) voting against it. After the election, the cost estimate for the stadium's construction increased by $18 million to $78 million, $38 million more than the 2005 estimate.[24] At a press conference with head football coach Todd Dodge, Villarreal stated that "there's an arms race going on with facilities. This one will put us up there with everybody else."[25] In February 2009, the school's chapter of Students for a Democratic Society unsuccessfully attempted to petition for a re-vote on the referendum.[26]
Following the election, Representative
Construction and naming rights
In February 2008, the school selected HKS, Inc. to provide architectural and design services for the proposed new stadium.[32] The university hired Manhattan Construction Company in 2009 to provide pre-construction and construction services.[10] After leveling the area, Manhattan installed a steel-reinforced concrete skeleton for the stands. Subsequently, the firm flattened the playing field area and installed artificial turf. In later phases, glass and brick were added to the facility's luxury suites.[33] Construction officially finished on July 20, 2011.[34]
On August 11, 2011, UNT announced a deal with Austin-based ResNet provider Apogee for the naming rights to the new stadium, and the name was changed to "Apogee Stadium".[35] According to the contract, Apogee will pay $11.8 million of the $20 million deal in cash over 20 years, including graduated annual payments beginning at $312,000 and ending in three payments of $1 million. The remaining $8.29 million will be in the form of in-kind services. As part of the contract, Apogee also received one luxury suite in the new stadium and premium tickets to other UNT events.[36] Apogee chose to end its agreement in 2023. On July 31, a new naming rights agreement was made with DATCU credit union.[37]
Opening season
The stadium hosted its first game on September 10, 2011, when the Mean Green football team lost 48–23 against the University of Houston Cougars. Despite the concerted efforts of the university and the athletic department, the first home game at the new stadium did not sell out, and the game attracted 28,075 spectators, 2,775 fewer than full capacity.[38][39] Although attendees' reception to the opening game was generally positive,[40] attendance dropped to 21,181 for the second home game against the Indiana University Hoosiers.[41] By the third home game against the Florida Atlantic University Owls, attendance had dropped to a season-low of 13,142.[42] To promote the final home game of the season against the Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders, the university offered free tickets to some athletic booster club members,[43] and head football coach Dan McCarney promoted the game with an op-ed in the school's student newspaper, the North Texas Daily.[44] The official attendance for the final game was 15,962, bringing the total home attendance for the year to 113,186, a new record for the Mean Green.[45] For the 2011 season, the stadium averaged 18,864 spectators per home game, which is 61.15% of the facility's capacity of 30,850.[46] T (FBS) teams in average home attendance.[47] It finished with five wins and seven losses, its best record since the 2004 season.[45]

Other uses
Other events at the stadium include an annual Independence Day fireworks show, hosted by the local Kiwanis organization.[59] The stadium also hosted Bands of America regional marching band competitions in 2012[60] and 2014 [61] The facility also hosts a number of high school football contests each year, including playoff games.[62] The venue hosted a 5K run in 2016, coinciding with that year's spring game.[63]
On March 25, 2017, the stadium hosted an exclusive concert for university students, staff, and alumni. The concert featured the Eli Young Band as the main act, with Midland and Macy Maloy as the opening acts.[64]
Structure and facilities
DATCU Stadium occupies 426,300 square feet (39,600 m2) on 46 acres (19 ha) of land.[3][65] Stands on the north, east, and west sides of the stadium seat 30,850 and form a horseshoe shape around a standard American football field. The field's surface is PowerBlade HP +, a type of artificial turf comprising synthetic fibers with a rubber and sand infill.[4] Unlike Fouts Field, DATCU Stadium does not have an all-weather running track, and spectators are set approximately 33 feet (10 m) closer to the field.[66] A separate 2,500-square-foot (230 m2) pavilion for alumni is located just north of the stadium.[67] Parts of the stadium's exterior are covered with 48,320 square feet (4,489 m2) of recyclable silver aluminum composite panels, with an additional 1,334 square feet (123.9 m2) of green panels for accent.[68]
The home side stands are located on the west side of the stadium. They include 21 luxury suites, which the athletic department sells for $20,000 per year plus a "6- or 7-figure gift to the Stadium Fund",
The stands on the east side of the field are generally reserved for student seating;[73] behind them is a path-defined tailgating area called "The Hill".[74] The seating behind the north end zone forms a distinctive "V" shape intended to resemble an eagle's wings in flight.[75] The tips of the "wings" reach 106 feet (32 m) above the field.[5] There is no seating behind the south end zone, but the area includes a 47-by-27-foot (14.3 m × 8.2 m) scoreboard and a 5-foot (1.5 m) bronze bust of an eagle.[76] The bust is named "Spiriki", and was donated by members of the Geezles, the school's first social fraternity.[77] On game days, the area also includes a scale replica cannon named "Boomer", which is fired each time the team scores.[78]

The stadium's sustainable design features have earned praise and awards from media outlets and industry groups. In 2011, DATCU Stadium became the first newly built stadium to achieve LEED Platinum certification, the highest level awarded by the
Transportation and location
DATCU Stadium is located on Bonnie Brae Street at the junction of Interstate 35 East and West in the southeast part of Denton, Texas.
To encourage the use of sustainable transportation, developers limited the quantity of parking spaces on site.[82] The facility includes 1,758 parking spaces adjacent to the stadium,[3] but to access it on the day of an event, most attendees park at Fouts Field on the opposite side of Interstate 35E and walk across a pedestrian bridge, which leads to the stadium.[100] The university announced plans to build the bridge in August 2011 to address another area of the concern from the 2002 studies.[101] Construction on the $2.5 million project, a joint venture between the university and the Texas Department of Transportation, began in February 2012.[102] Although originally expected to open for the football team's first home game of the 2012 season, construction delays moved the opening date to October 16 for the third home game of the season.[103]
