Not since the Frogs played the Texas Tech Red Raiders in 2006 in a 12-3 Horned Frog win has Amon G. Carter Stadium been filled to capacity.

As of Monday, 44,358 tickets had been sold for Saturday's game against the Utah Utes, according to gofrogs.com. Standing room only tickets are still available.

The official capacity of Amon G. Carter Stadium is 44,358. TCU's average home attendance in 2008 was 30,389. The largest home crowd last season was 36,180, when TCU beat then-ranked No. 8 BYU 32-7.

With standing room only tickets still available, there is still a chance the all-time home attendance record could be broken. A record 47,280 fans watched then-No. 12 TCU fall to No. 10 Texas 44-23 in 1984, according to the 2009 TCU Football Media Guide.

Reserved tickets for the Utah game sold out Monday leaving standing-room-only tickets as the only option for fans, according to the TCU Athletics Ticket Office. This means fans will be able to attend the game and stand in designated areas, but not be able to access the bleachers on either side of the field.

Standing-room-only tickets cost $15 and are available through the TCU Athletics Ticket Office in Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, according to the TCU Athletics Ticket Office.

A TCU student ID card should allow students to gain entry to the game at no charge, said Ticket Sales Operations Manager Sean Conner.

Conner said the attendance also might have a chance to be an all-time high for the Frogs.

"I think we have a pretty good chance of breaking the old record," hesaid.

As a result, Conner said security would be increased because of the game's status as a high-profile event, but could not give specifics about increased security measures.



The football game is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
