Greetings from the Mean Green
Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2014 11:46 amHello Ponyfans. I wanted to jump in and say hello as we inch closer to our game in Denton this year.
I am not going to lie, our fans have a strong passion about playing SMU and this goes back quite a long time. Personally, I remember watching the SMU game in Denton in 1990. That was a standing only crowd at Fouts and it was a great game. Growing up in Houston, I was an SMU fan during the Ron Meyer regime. I am excited about the fact we have an ongoing series and I think it will be beneficial for both sides. We will bring a LOT of fans to your stadium. A good indicator of this is the crowd we brought to the Heart of Dallas bowl (39K) with a no-draw opponent UNLV. We have a lot of fans that won't drive to Denton but will attend a game in Dallas.
If you haven't found it yet our website is at http://gomeangreen.com/forums. We have already had a number of discussions about the game and more to come I'm sure.
One thing I wanted to mention, there is a big push for Denton County Transit Authority (DCTA) on UNT gamedays this football season with complimentary transportation services via the A-train and DCTA shuttles under the partnership of DCTA, UNT, and the Denton Convention & Visitors Bureau. I did this last year and you can take the green line on Dart to the Trinity Mills station where you can catch the A-Train right into the Denton Downtown Square and a shuttle to the stadium. It works great, and the Denton square scene is really fun with a lot of bars and restaurants you can visit. It's a fun way to get to the game without having to worry about driving.
Anyway -- that is all for now. Good luck this season to the Mustangs. Looking forward to the game!
