STADIUM EXPANSION
As you've seen, we have received Board of Trustees approval to begin fundraising for an Amon G. Carter Stadium east side premium seating expansion. This project, due to the demand we have for premium seating and suites, will be completely donor funded.
Please note the following key points on this project:
•The total project cost is $100 million.
•The expansion will provide 20 luxury suites, 48 premium loge boxes and over 1,000 club seats.
•Construction, contingent on the necessary funds being raised, would begin in Summer 2018 and be completed in time for the 2019 season.
•No current seating will be affected and there are no plans to reseat the stadium.
•Suites will be the first items sold. Loge and Club seating information will be made available in the early spring. If you are interested, please contact our Frog Club office.
•If you are currently on the club seat waitlist for the west side, you will be contacted regarding the opportunity to purchase seats in the spring.

WEST TEXAS CHAMPIONSHIP
Thanks to our great friends at M.L. Leddy's Boots & Saddlery in Fort Worth, a longtime tradition has returned. TCU and Texas Tech will battle Saturday in Lubbock for the Saddle Trophy!
Back in the day, the annual game between the Horned Frogs and Red Raiders was called the West Texas Championship. It then went away in the early 1970s.

HOLIDAY SEASON
It's been great to see our campus moving into holiday season mode with all the purple lights and decorations being installed. We wish everyone a very happy and safe Thanksgiving and look forward to seeing you the next day for our 11 a.m. Black Friday football regular-season finale against Baylor.
IMPORTANT TICKET OFFICE NOTES
We control our destiny to play in the Dec. 2 Big 12 Championship Game at AT&T Stadium. As a reminder, please submit your request for tickets to the game by Friday's deadline. The bowl game request deadline is Monday, Dec. 4.

CLEAR BAG REMINDER
With basketball season now underway, just a friendly reminder that we have a clear-bag policy upon entering any of our athletics facilities for a game or competition.
BACK-TO-BACK
Congratulations to head coach Eric Bell and his soccer program on another outstanding season, capped by its second consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament! We reached the Big 12 Championship Game for the third time in six seasons. Our six conference wins were our most since joining the Big 12. Coach Bell definitely has TCU Soccer trending up!
GETTING IT DONE IN THE CLASSROOM
We had a combined 36 student-athletes from football (19), soccer (10) and volleyball (7) earn Academic All-Big 12 recognition this fall. You can definitely be proud of your investment in our student-athletes as they continue to excel in the classroom and competition.
STUDENT-ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to men's basketball guard Desmond Bane and volleyball's Anna Walsh who have been selected as our TCU Male and Female Student-Athletes of the Week!
Desmond scored a career-high 24 points, including a personal-best six 3-pointers, in our 100-63 win over Tennessee Tech. Anna recorded her first career double-double with 15 kills and 12 blocks in a win at Kansas State.
ON THE DOCKET
While football is at Texas Tech Saturday at 11 a.m., we have a day-night doubleheader on campus. Women's basketball, off to a 2-0 start after Tuesday's win at SMU, hosts Texas State at 2 p.m., while volleyball has its Senior Day match at 7 p.m. versus Iowa State.
Additionally, our No. 2-ranked rifle program heads to West Point while our diving squad travels to Austin for the UT Invitational.
