21 Stadiums Across America You Didn't Know Were This Young

4. Apogee Stadium (2011) – University of North Texas

When Apogee Stadium opened in 2011, it didn’t just bring the Mean Green back to campus—it made a statement about the future of college sports infrastructure. As the first newly built college stadium in the nation to achieve LEED Platinum certification, Apogee is a trailblazer in sustainable design. Three on-site wind turbines help power the stadium, while recycled materials, native landscaping, and water-saving systems showcase a deep commitment to environmental stewardship. With a capacity of roughly 30,850, Apogee blends its green credentials with bold architectural flair, including a unique end-zone structure shaped like eagle wings—a nod to the UNT mascot. The stadium sits proudly on the edge of campus, offering fans a scenic setting with easy access. Inside, fans enjoy wide concourses, upgraded amenities, and an energized game-day atmosphere that reflects the school’s rising athletic aspirations. Apogee is where innovation, identity, and football culture come together—clean, green, and unapologetically Mean.
