Amon G. Carter Stadium2850 Stadium Dr. - 1930; 1947; 1948; 1956Fort Worth Architect Wyatt C. Hedrick designed both the east and west stands for the school in 1930, but only the west side was constructed that year. Butcher & Sweeney were the General Contractors for the work. In 1947, the east stands were constructed. Enlargement of the stadium was completed in 1948. In 1951, the stadium was named in honor of Amon G. Carter, local businessman, philanthropist, and publisher of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. In 1956, an addition was constructed above the original west stands that dwarfed them. Since that time, numerous renovations and remodel projects have occurred at the stadium. In its current configuration, the stadium seats 46,083. From the Jack White
