Amon G. Carter Stadium is a 46,083-seat open-air football stadium on the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. It is the home stadium of the TCU football team, the Horned Frogs. It also hosts the annual Fort Worth Bowl, which has been played since 2003.
The stadium was built in 1930, and expanded in 1947 and 1956. It was named after Amon G. Carter, a prominent Fort Worth businessman, newspaper publisher, and city booster.
Carter was kept out of the military during the war due to his eyesight and other factors, and he handled the business alone from 1943 to early 1946 while Burgess served in the U.S. Marine Corps in the Pacific.
Carter was regarded as the primary marketer for the firm for work outside of the immediate vicinity, especially with government-related work, while Burgess was often aligned more closely with local projects.
Carter's expertise was sought in the public arena, where he served on the boards of the Fort Worth Planning Commission, Fort Worth Zoning Commission and City Zoning Board of Adjustment.
