Fouts Field is a stadium in Denton, Texas, United States. It is primarily used for American football, and is the home field of the University of North Texas Mean Green.

The stadium opened in September 1952 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 [ [http://www.unt.edu/northtexan/archives/p03/fouts.htm University of North Texas North Texan Online Spring 2003: Fouts' birthday ] ] . The stadium originally consisted of the two sideline grandstands on either side of the track, which runs towards the northwest, and sat 20,000. The endzone grandstands, which were added in 1994, brought the stadium up to its current capacity. The playing surface of Fouts Field is Sportex Omnigrass Artificial Turf, which was installed prior to the 2005 playing season.
