FORT WORTH - Amon G. Carter Stadium (45,000) - Page 14

JJG · January 14th, 2012, 08:59 AM

The yellow brick seen on the stadium and around campus was added to the base of the mid-club section. Also, you see the start of columns on the east side. Should start to rise in a few...

More work on the exterior west side.

Albeit the capacity is only about 45.000, i think this stadium could be a great venue for a NFL franchise. The columns and the bricks give the stadium a charming retro style.

What Kingman said, and keep something in mind, this thing....

... is only about 15 miles away. So, no.

But yeah, TCU's going into the Big XII the RIGHT way with this stadium renovation.

The mine was a hypothetic consideration, just to underline how much i like this stadium.

If the DFW area got another NFL team before San Antonio, then south Texas will go CRAZY

Yeah, that might sell some tickets and draw a few fans to the newly dressed stadium.

And to think last year everyone had this penciled in as a Big East match-up!

a) As much as I loathe that conference and felt Bama shouldn't have been in the BCS title game, the SEC is indeed tough and deserves most of their accolades.

b) You do realize the "BigXIIevelen" will only have 10 teams, right?

As long as it has something to do with TCU football (it does), it counts.

JJG · February 25th, 2012, 12:20 AM

Northeast tower

Putting in the windows for the boxes.

.... kinda forgot what was happening to those first few rows at field level.

Putting in glass for the west side

New wordmark now in the new workout facility.

And NBC 5... not there for the stadium itself, but they made it a great backdrop.

WesTexas · February 25th, 2012, 02:19 AM

Nice progress. thanks for the update.

FastFerrari · February 25th, 2012, 09:05 PM
