In just over a month, towering cranes and heavy machinery are expected to be in full flurry around TCU's Amon G. Carter Stadium as the planned expansion of the east side begins.
The $100 million project, all funded by private donors, is sitting at about $50 million, TCU athletic director Jeremiah Donati said. That's $30 million shy of the benchmark set to get the first shovels in the dirt. Donati, who took over in December after Chris Del Conte left for the same job at the University of Texas, and his team are pounding the pavement and racking up the airline miles tracking down the donors who will help them hit $80 million and beyond.
