THE FUTURE IS NOW AT TCU The 2008 season marks a new era in TCU football with the opening of the $13 million Dutch Meyer Athletic Complex and Abe Martin Academic Enhancement Center (above). The 40,000 square-foot facility provides the Horned Frogs with a new team meeting room, academic space and a community area. Six suites and 250 club seats will give fans unique views of historic Amon G. Carter Stadium. Additional major changes loom on the horizon as a feasibility study is underway for a proposed renovation of Amon G. Carter (below). The project received a lead gift of $15 million from the Amon Carter Foundation in spring 2008.
