TCU Athletic Director has a great understanding of the power of social media and its ability to connect with fans of the program(s) across campus. This month, one way he is using that power is to announce a change to the game day experience at Amon G. Carter Stadium each day leading up to kick-off on August 31st.
We are keeping track of those changes here, and will update daily for those of you that don’t tweet.
Here we go....30 Days Until Kick-Off ‼️ The Horned Frogs have fresh new unis this season and YOU will decide what we wear Game 1! Head over to @TCU_Athletics and vote on what you want to see @TCUFootball wear! #GoFrogs #CountdownToKickoff pic.twitter.com/27PmbGleHj
