TCU Diamond was a ballpark located in Fort Worth, TX and was the home of the TCU Horned Frogs baseball program for four decades.^[1] The Horned Frogs won Southwest Conference regular season championships in 1963 (co-champions with the Longhorns), 1966 (Quad-champions with Texas, Baylor, and Texas A&M), 1967 (co-champions with the Longhorns again), 1972 (co-champions with Texas), and 1994 while calling TCU Diamond home. The venue held a capacity of 1,500.^[2] The park sat near Amon G. Carter Stadium and was one of the best venues that existed during the Southwest Conference. However, modern facilities such as UFCU Disch-Falk Field, Dan Law Field at Rip Griffin Park, and Olsen Field made TCU Diamond look obsolete even before the stadium was eventually razed following the 2002 season.^[3] The ancient flag poles and foul poles were transferred to Lupton Stadium as a reminder of the ballpark's existence.^[4]
