TCU to play in Rose Bowl

Published Dec 5, 2010

The same day TCU said goodbye to 80-year old Amon G. Carter Stadium, the No. 3 Horned Frog football team said hello to its future appearance in the Rose Bowl BCS Bowl game against Wisconsin.

Sunday morning, fans woke up to see the historical landmark imploded, and just 12 hours later, the same fans gathered at Daniel Meyer Coliseum in anticipation to see where the Frogs will end its 2010 season.

Voice of the Frogs Brian Estridge said to head football coach Gary Patterson, "On the day we blow up Amon G. Carter Stadium, we blow up the BCS."

With the wind chill of 28 degrees and the implosion happening around 8:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning, crowds still made it out to watch the implosion of the Amon G. Carter stadium.

Rubbing her hands together to warm them, alumna Jennifer Dart said that even though she was freezing she wouldn't miss the implosion. Dart has been coming to football games at the stadium since she was five years old.

"This is a good turnout," Dart said. "I think the community is really behind the growth of the university and they are excited about the new stadium going in."

We'd hide in the most awkward spots in Sid Rich[Sid W. Richardson Building], in the stairwell behind the library and even in a storm drain next to Beasley."
