TCU will close out the 2025 college football regular season at Amon G. Carter Stadium on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The grounds crew is working hard to get the field ready for play in the meantime.
Unfortunately, some people decided to disrespect their hard work.
Three individuals went down to the college football field and removed a tarp in place for protection. They did not have permission to do so.
TCU’s landscape and grounds crew wins awards!
Texas Christian University is widely considered one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation. It is often featured on on lists by publications like The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report.
The 302-acre campus combines historic 200-year-old+ buildings with contemporary architecture.
Every single inch is manicured. Flowers change in and out with the seasons. Every tree is perfectly trimmed.
With that in mind, TCU Grounds recently earned a national ‘Grand Award’ from the Professional Grounds Management Society. It placed first its category of university and college grounds between 200 and 500 acres.
According to the university website, the Landscape and Grounds team is also responsible for the maintenance of athletic fields. That obviously includes the football stadium.
The football field is currently wrapped.
The Horned Frogs played their last home game on Nov. 8. They will return home to close out the regular season at home against a top-25 team on Nov. 29.
The field at Amon G. Carter Stadium will be covered until a few days before kickoff. A tarp not only protects the grass from the elements, it is used to retain heat and moisture, which creates a microclimate to promote growing. Dormant turf is able to recover from wear and tear. New seeds are able to establish.
Unfortunately, a group of people decided to move the tarp for a photography shoot. They had to remove staples to release the tarp and threw it aside. They did not re-cover the field when they were done.
As a result, the grounds crew had to work overtime.
“Now we have to call team members in on a Sunday to staple them back down. Please don’t be inconsiderate of other’s people’s time and work.”
Fortunately, this problem was caught well in advance. Unfortunately, it happened in the first place.
