Sundance Square
Our walkable, vibrant downtown was named best in the nation by Livability.com. and Sundance Square is right in the middle of all. There's always something going on — whether it's a performance at Bass Hall, live music, a festival, a parade or just people enjoying life.

On Campus
During your time at TCU, there are some worthwhile sights to see.
Amon G. Carter Stadium
See where champions such as Sammy Baugh, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Andy Dalton suited up for the Horned Frogs. Also be sure to check out Founders Plaza and Frog Alley.
Frog Fountain
A focal point of campus life for four decades, the fountain features four stylized lotus leaves, a motif chosen for its historic association with education. The Fountain was originally placed in front of the Brown-Lupton Student Center in 1969.
Clark Statue
The statue of Addison and Randolph Clark, TCU's founders, incorporates the original Add-Ran cornerstone from TCU's forerunner institution at Thorp Spring.
Veterans Plaza
Duty. Sacrifice. Commitment. Patriotism. All are timeless ideas that are celebrated on the TCU campus with Veterans Plaza. This beautiful landmark incorporated the existing Memorial Columns and honors all Horned Frogs lost in service to their country going back to WWI. TCU Veterans Plaza also honors the sacrifice and heroism of all Horned Frog veterans and their families.
Jane & John Justin Hall of Fame
Located inside Schollmaier Arena near the main entrance, the Justin Hall of Fame holds historic awards and artifacts such as the Heisman Trophy, the 1935 and 1938 National Championship trophies, the Rose Bowl trophies, and other championships and game-used memorabilia across all of TCU's athletic achievements.
