Dear UNT Students,

The Mean Green Football team is having another great season and is undefeated in American Conference play. I could not be prouder each week to support our student-athletes, coaches, the Green Brigade, spirit team, athletic trainers, and student media.

In the spirit of rallying the full Mean Green community, classes scheduled to begin at noon or later on Thursday, October 29, will be cancelled. The game will be broadcast on ESPN, which will have a SportsCenter crew on-site near DATCU Stadium from 4 to 4:30 p.m. I encourage you to come early, enjoy Mean Green Live and student tailgating at DATCU Stadium. At 6:30 p.m., help us set a student attendance record when the Mean Green football team kicks off its game against Florida Atlantic.

Students can claim their free tickets to the game from Mean Green Athletics.

While classes are cancelled, the university will remain open, and limited exceptions for courses and labs that meet infrequently may be approved to continue through the Provost’s Office at the request of faculty members. Please pay close attention to communication from faculty this week, as well as communications from UNT Transportation regarding game day traffic and parking.

Congratulations to the Mean Green Football team on an outstanding season, and I will see you at DATCU Stadium Thursday night.

Go Mean Green!
