FAMILY, FOOTBALL AND FUN!
Get ready for a memorable Family Weekend at UNT from Friday, Sept. 20, to Sunday, Sept. 22! With a full lineup of activities including Scrappy’s Extravaganza, UPCinema’s Movie on the Lawn, the President’s Breakfast and tailgating, it’s a weekend of fun and UNT pride for everyone.
Registration is $75 per adult and $45 per child (ages 5-17). Each registered adult can bring one UNT student for free, with an option to add a second for $35. This fee includes meals, participation materials and tickets to the football game.
A big part of Family Weekend is the home game, and Saturday’s UNT vs. Wyoming football game is a Green Out, so wear green and help pack DATCU Stadium! As more students claim their tickets, special rewards and giveaways will be unlocked, with a goal of breaking the record of 9,000 tickets claimed.
