The performance will feature a Halloween theme and also showcase bits from the band's regular halftime show, he said.

Fans have not filled Amon Carter Stadium to the brim since Sep. 16, 2006 when the Horned Frogs beat Texas Tech 12-3.

On Tuesday, head coach Gary Patterson called for the TCU community to support his team as it worked toward an undefeated season.

"It's not all on the shoulders of the team," Patterson said. "(Fans) need to get themselves out. It needs to be a loud crowd ... There needs to be a home-field advantage."
