If you build it...

TCU’s field of dreams is a reality. The Horned Frogs will play their first game in their new stadium, the Charles and Marie Lupton Baseball Stadium, 2 p.m. Sunday against Texas-Arlington. Construction began on TCU’s $7 million new home in December 2001. The picture, right, shows the stadium’s site under construction in March.

The picture, below, shows the stadium and the new Williams-Reilly Field Thursday, just days before their opening. The stadium will have more than 2,000 permanent seats, luxury suites, training rooms, batting/pitching cages and improvements in the dugouts, press boxes and concession stands. It will also have lighting for night games. TCU’s old stadium, the TCU Diamond, had been opened since 1962. Lupton Stadium’s dedication is scheduled for Feb. 21.
