Amon G. Carter Stadium, Football stadium in Fort Worth, United States
Amon G. Carter Stadium is a football venue on the Texas Christian University campus with approximately 47,000 seats and a natural grass field called Moncrief Field. The facility features modern amenities and has been upgraded multiple times to enhance comfort and viewing experience for spectators.
Amon G. Carter Stadium was built from 1929 to 1930 with an original capacity of 22,000 seats, replacing Clark Field. It opened on October 11, 1930, when TCU beat Arkansas 40-0. Expansions in 1948, 1951, 1953 and 1956 raised capacity to 46,083, and a $164 million rebuild from 2010 to 2012 kept only the lower bowl and field.
This venue is home to the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs and draws fans throughout the region who gather to cheer during games. It shapes the rhythm of campus life and connects the university with the wider community.
Recent large-scale renovation has added modern restrooms, improved food and beverage stands, and extra elevators for visitors with reduced mobility. It is helpful to arrive early and follow signage to navigate easily through this modern facility.
The stadium's nickname "Hell's Half Acre" refers to a notorious district of Fort Worth's Wild West past that stood near the site. The bronze horned frog statue at the main entrance is a popular meeting point before games. In early 2021 the parking lots hosted a drive-through COVID-19 vaccination site that administered more than 19,000 doses over twelve weeks.
