Apogee Stadium is a modern college football venue located at 1251 South Bonnie Brae Street on the campus of the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton, Texas, United States. Since its opening on September 10, 2011, it has provided the North Texas Mean Green football team with a distinctive and sustainable home-field advantage.
Address: 1251 South Bonnie Brae Street, Denton, Texas 76207, United States.
Country: United States of America.
Opened: September 10, 2011.
Construction Cost: $78 million.
Seating Capacity: Approximately 30,000.
Primary Use: American football.
Main Tenant: North Texas Mean Green (NCAA Division I FBS, American Athletic Conference).
Apogee Stadium was built to elevate the profile and game-day experience of the North Texas football program.
A New Era: The stadium replaced the aging Fouts Field and marked a significant upgrade for the program. In its inaugural season in 2011, the Mean Green played their first season in the Sun Belt Conference at the new venue, drawing an average attendance of 18,000 for six home games, signaling strong initial community and student support.
Design and Atmosphere: The stadium features a horseshoe design that encloses the field on three sides, with the north end zone open to a view of the campus. Its steep stands are designed to bring fans close to the action and amplify crowd noise.
Sustainable Innovation: A nationally recognized feature of Apogee Stadium is its commitment to sustainability. It was the first new stadium in the United States to generate a portion of its power through wind energy, utilizing three large wind turbines located just north of the stadium. This earned it LEED Platinum certification, the highest recognition for green building.
More than just a sports venue, Apogee Stadium has acted as a catalyst for the growth and modernization of the University of North Texas’s athletic facilities and campus spirit.
Game-Day Destination: The stadium is part of a larger athletic complex that includes practice facilities, making it a hub for UNT athletics. Its modern amenities and design have helped attract recruits and enhance the fan experience.
Community Asset: Located near the heart of the Denton campus, the stadium also hosts high school football games, concerts, and other university events, solidifying its role as a multi-purpose asset for the university and the city.
Apogee Stadium stands as a symbol of North Texas’s ambitions, combining innovative, eco-friendly design with a classic football atmosphere to create a distinctive home for the Mean Green.

With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
