   GAME DAY PARKING   
UNT is 5-0 for the first time since 1959 and has the chance to go 6-0 this Friday, Oct. 10, at DATCU Stadium against No. 24 South Florida. Fans are encouraged to wear black. In case you missed the news, starting at noon, all classes are canceled that day to encourage students to enjoy the pregame activities, fill the stands and cheer the Mean Green on to another victory!  

Here are some important parking reminders
  • Vehicles in lots around DATCU Stadium (Lots 70-74, 76-77, 80-81, 83 and 85) must be moved to Eagle lots on the east side of campus (other than Lot 20) by 7 a.m. Friday. Relocation parking opens at 3 p.m. Thursday.
  • Eagle permit holders parking in Lot 20 must move out of that lot by noon Friday. 
  • Resident Lot 20 permit holders parked in Lot 20 do not need to move their vehicles, but if you exit the lot, reentry fees may apply.
