Its primary use from its opening in 1952 until 2010 was as the home field for the University of North Texas Eagles (later renamed the Mean Green) football team. Fouts Field was built to replace the small Eagle Field, which the team used from its inception in 1913 until 1951. Eagle Field was part of the larger Recreation Park on campus, located on the current site of Willis Library. Fouts Field opened in September 1952 and was originally named Eagle Stadium. In 1954, it was named in honor of Theron J. Fouts, former football coach, athletics director and founder of UNT's track and field program.[1] The stadium originally consisted of two sideline grandstands on either side of the track, which runs towards the northwest, and sat 20,000. The endzone grandstands which stretch around the track were added in 1994 and seated another 10,500. The addition of those overflow seats brought the stadium's capacity up to 30,500, the largest the venue would hold during its existence. Apogee Stadium replaced Fouts Field for North Texas football in 2011. Fouts Field remained in use for track and field events. The university began the partial demolition of the stadium in 2013, starting with the endzone seats that were added in 1994 as well as the north grandstand, part of the original structure. The track, football field, field goal posts and south grandstand remained to house the university's track and field program. The last remnants of the stadium were demolished on December 8, 2018 to make way for further expansions for the university. ReplacementIn 2011, Apogee Stadium became the new home of North Texas Mean Green football. As a result, the use of Fouts Field by the university's athletics program was reduced to the school's track and field teams. The stadium was also used as a practice field by the Green Brigade Marching Band, as well as the university's ROTC program. In popular cultureMany of the football scenes in the 1991 film Necessary Roughness were filmed at Fouts Field. The fictional Texas State Armadillos, the team featured in the movie, wore the same colors (green and white) as UNT's football team.
