Amon G. Carter Stadium

Love the new stadium. I went to TCU in the late 70’s and the new stadium is totally awesome! The biggest challenge is parking so one must plan ahead on getting to the Carter in the last mile.

Beautiful home of the proud TCU HORNED FROGS! We bleed purple, and fight ‘em till hell freezes over then fight them on the ice.

The newly renovated stadium is a magnificent structure which will rate all five stars when it is expanded to its 50,000-seat capacity. And it is STILL the absolute prettiest stadium anywhere!

The upgrade is nice but football games are pretty basic. Student section gets into it. Alumni? Not so much…

This football stadium is large enough to be home of a team in a Power 5 conference. Yet it is not gigantic to get lost in. The stadium is newly renovated, with free AT&T wifi throughout. The arches in the walkway are architecturally aesthetic. Workers in the concession stands are friendly. If you don’t want the traditional stadium food (hotdog, burgers, pretzels, etc.), other food vendors (such as chick-​fil-​a, barbeque, taco stands, food truck, etc.) are available throughout the stadium. Some of those vendors are on the 2^nd and 3^rd levels. So if you don’t find them, keep going up.
Sound systems are good. You can hear bass and treble clearly from any where in the stadium. Compared to other Big 12 football tickets, TCU tickets are more affordable. So that’s a plus. It’s always a great game day experience when I visit this stadium.

I am sure a lot of people remember the old stadium. Well, AGC, is a 100% upgrade of the old lady that needed a facelift. Having been to the old stadium many, many times (Having 20 TCU family members that are alumni, including the wife), Thank goodness TCU got it right.
With the smallest Alumni in the Metroplex, TCU designed it to seat 48,000 comfortably. Open spaces and easy to get around. Only issue is if you are sitting in the ³⁰⁰⁄₄₀₀ decks, you have two ways to get to the top: 1. Elevator (and a long line) 2. Stairs.
Great family atmosphere and now TCU has a real football stadium. Best parking is at Paschal High School, and take the shuttle.

A Great Place To Watch College Football
I recently attended the Texas vs. TCU football game, and the experience was great (except for the 3 hour rain delay). The newly renovated stadium was a wonderful venue for a game, and the home team fans were friendly.
With the newest upgrades Texas Christian University has made, the Stadium now seats about 48,000 fans. While growing, this is still significantly less than other Big XII schools. However, the more intimate atmosphere makes the action feel even closer.
Parking is not easy to find around the Stadium; however, free shuttles are offered from locations around Fort Worth. I found this to be very convenient.

Riff Ram Bah Zoo, Give ‘Em Hell TCU!
Was a great stadium before the renovations and is a perfect stadium after them. Great vibe, cheap concession stands, fun atmosphere.

This is one of the most beautiful and family friendly football stadiums in the nation. Cheap tickets, easy parking and tons of food choices.

It’s been said that «perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.» I’m not saying that the new Amon Carter Stadium is flawless (I’m reserving a star for my next trip back), but there’s no question it’s a really terrific place to catch a football game.
It’s difficult for a stadium to play both cozy and sizable at once, but I’d argue that this one does: seating last weekend clocked in at somewhere around 47,000, and it’s a pretty nifty arrangement for tailgating too. The stadium itself sits elevated from the parking lot, and while I’d not spent much time here prior to the renovation, it looks from here like money well spent.
Expect most Saturdays a sea of purple, vigorous cookouts, good cheer and hearty cheering by the home folks. Definitely what a Fort Worth sized college football experience is all about. Color it rousing.

I don’t write many homeriffic reviews, but I can’t help myself with this one.
It’s that time of year again, Horned Frog fans… I can already smell the smoke from the pit at Gino’s tailgate, hear the band playing the fight song, feel the rush from the opening kickoff, and see the hands raised as the west side of the stadium yells «GO!», then the east side follows with «FROGS!!!» The spirit, the pageantry, the people, the action, the fun, and the camaraderie are just a few things that make TCU football one of Fort Worth’s emerging attractions.
I can’t wait to post a bunch of pictures of the new renovations to the stadium. The new light fixtures and seating are up-​to-​date, and the sound system is out of this world. It’s great to put a new shine on the sacred turf that played host to Davey O’Brien, Sammy Baugh, Bob Lilly, LaDanian Tomlinson, Andy Dalton, and a whole host of other respectable men who were also great athletes. This season has an extra height of anticipation, with Big XII implications.
Let’s make this something to remember.

Amon Carter is as of now an okay stadium. It is pretty indicative of stadiums built in the era (1930’s). The amenities are zilch. Not a beautiful place in terms of design. But they must have done something right since it has been in action for over 80 years.
I have no serious complaints other than typically shite parking. I am looking forward to going back after the renovation for the Armed Forces Bowl. Here’s to hoping they have improved and not ruined an old standard.

One thing I like about college stadiums is that they never really tear them down and build newer, shiny versions of them. The keep their class and charm, you still have to sit on metal benches but you know you are sitting in the same place someone did 80 years ago. The architecture is classic, timeless, yet updated in places.
Amon Carter Stadium at TCU is like that. Sure there is a modern (80s’ish) press box and a within-​5-​years club section on the south end zone, but the rest of the stadium is still the way it looked when it was originally built.
The prices are cheap, the product (TCU football) is arguably one of the 10 best programs of the last decade, and the experience is quality. Sure, there isn’t alcohol sold, but find me a college stadium that does sell alcohol. The hot dogs are awesome, sodas cold, bathrooms decent (if you’re a guy) and the tickets are cheap.
Hooray for the stadium and for TCU keeping it original, small and charming.
