TRADITIONS OF SPIRIT

First installed by the Talons in the 1970s, the green lights in McConnell Tower signal athletic victories and shine during special occasions on campus. After home football game wins, the Talons lead a march from DATCU Stadium to the Hurley Administration Building where they turn the green lights on at McConnell Tower to symbolize our victory to the campus and community. In 2014, LED lights were installed to make our Mean Green pride shine even brighter!

Make sure to follow UNT on Instagram and check out the Traditions highlight each week.

GO MEAN GREEN
