Amon G. Carter Stadium is the only college football facility to be nominated for 2013 Sports Facility of the Year by Sports Business Journal and Sports Business Daily. It is one of only five nominees, which also include the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Florida, Marlins Park in Miami and UCLA's Pauley Pavilion.
The 2012 football season was not only the first in Big 12 Conference play, but it also marked the first time Horned Frogs took the field in the $164 million, newly renovated stadium.
According to TCU, the Sports Business Awards recognize outstanding achievement in the business of sports from March 1, 2012, through Feb. 28, 2013. Sports facilities (new, renovated or established) in North America were eligible. The winner will be announced at the 2013 Sports Business Awards hosted in New York City on May 22. -FWTX staff
