New North Texas Mean Green Stadium is the working title of a new stadium being proposed in Denton, Texas for the North Texas Mean Green football team. Located on the former Eagle Point Golf Course, the stadium will be the centerpiece of the University of North Texas's Mean Green Village. It will replace Fouts Field, which opened in 1951.

In February 2008, HKS, Inc. was selected to provide initial architectural and design services for the proposed new stadium.
