We smoked a lot of joints up there in 1971. The gates were never locked and you could just climb all the way to top.
can't wait for all the new additions to be done. Just in time for the Big East show down...IIRC. Some done for next season....the rest 2012. "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh played in the stadium in the mid-30s before become a Pro Football Hall of Famer, Davey O'Brien won a Heisman Trophy and national championship in 1938, Bob Lilly played there before being the first-ever draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys and LaDainian Tomlinson set an NCAA single-game rushing record with 406 yards in a home game in 1999.
They NEVER lock the gates, I don't even know how many times I've been to the top of that West side, amazing view of Fort Worth.
So where is TCU going to play next year? Or what's the situation there? What kind of rennovations/upgrades are they doing?
http://www.stadium.tcu.edu/ http://www.stadium.tcu.edu/gallery.asp There is going to be 2 phases of the construction. First phase will be done for the 2011 season. 2nd phase for the 2012 season. IIRC. EDIT: Frequently Asked Questions Town Hall Presentation and Questions Why is TCU renovating the west side and north end of the stadium? Built in 1930, Amon G. Carter Stadium has not undergone a major renovation since 1956. The renovation will allow TCU to enhance the game day experience for all fans by improving accessibility and crowd flow, enhancing seating to provide better views of the field, and significantly improving concession stands, elevators, restrooms and lighting. How much will the project cost and who’s paying for it? In 2008, TCU received a generous gift of $15 million from the Amon G. Carter Foundation to examine the feasibility of renovating the stadium to lift the historic icon to a new level on par with the University's championship-winning football team and improve all fans' experience. Since that time, other donors' donations have enabled TCU to raise the remaining $90 million needed for this project. This support is allowing TCU to realize a dream years in the making. Plans call for construction to begin after the final home game (Nov. 13) of the 2010 season. What are some of the highlights of the new stadium? The re-developed Amon G. Carter Stadium will feature suites, club seats and improved fan amenities in many areas – new and more comfortable seating, wider concourses, new and improved restrooms and concessions areas, handicap accessible accommodations, elevators and escalators to move patrons among levels, and new lighting. Additionally, the stadium will feature a new press box. Will seating on the west side and north end change at Amon G. Carter Stadium? Yes. Once construction is finished, Amon G. Carter Stadium will have improved fan seating on the west and north sides. If you have questions, please send an e-mail to stadium@tcu.edu. Will parking change? Due to the expanding footprint of the stadium on the west side and north end, parking spaces will need to be adjusted. After construction, there will be more than 3,120 parking spaces within approximately 500 yards of the stadium. Current discussion has focused on finding solutions to provide the best possible game-day parking. If you have questions, please send an e-mail to stadium@tcu.edu. What about my patio in Lot 1? Due to construction, patios located near Lot 1 will have to be moved. TCU will be responsible for construction costs of new patios to be relocated in the closest possible locations to the stadium in time for the 2012 season. Affected donors will receive more detailed communication in the coming months. "TCU is excited about the future of Amon G. Carter Stadium and Horned Frog football. The stadium renovation will help us provide the best possible amenities and game-day experience for all our fans and place this iconic structure on a level of visibility, on par with our championship-winning football team. We're thrilled to share this momentous time in TCU's history with our loyal fans." -Chris Del Conte, TCU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
