Fouts Field, College stadium in Denton, United States
Description
Fouts Field is the home stadium of the University of North Texas and accommodates around 30,500 spectators on an artificial turf surface. The facility hosts university sporting events and community gatherings throughout the year.
History
The stadium opened in 1952 originally as Eagle Stadium and was renamed in 1954 after the death of Theron J. Fouts. This change took place shortly before a home game against Southern Miss and represented a significant moment in the facility's early years.
Culture
The stadium holds significance in college football history as a place where Black athletes first played major college sports in Texas. This legacy shapes how the institution and its athletic programs are viewed by visitors and the broader community.
Practical
The stadium is located at 2300 N I-35E with multiple entry points and designated parking areas for visitors. Arriving early during university sports events helps you find parking easily and avoid crowded entrances.
Did you know?
The facility was used as a filming location for the 1991 movie Necessary Roughness, which featured a fictional team wearing the same colors as the university. This Hollywood connection remains an interesting part of the stadium's story for visitors interested in film history.
