Go Purple Day
Mayor Mike Moncrief has proclaimed Friday, Nov. 13 "Go Purple Day" in Fort Worth

All residents are encouraged to wear purple on Friday to show their support for the undefeated TCU Horned Frogs football team as they head into a key matchup with Utah on Saturday.

Landmarks in Fort Worth - including the Avenue of Lights on West Lancaster Avenue, the Chesapeake Energy headquarters and several downtown tower buildings - will be awash in purple lights this weekend.

"Coach (Gary) Patterson and his team have placed Fort Worth on the national stage, and we are all very proud," Moncrief said. "We were thrilled to learn that ESPN's College GameDay is coming to TCU this weekend for the game versus Utah. Everyone at TCU has been working hard to reach this point and to show everyone what makes TCU so special.

"Saturday's game is not just another unique opportunity to highlight this great university, but also the great city of Fort Worth," Moncrief said. "I encourage all local employers and citizens to support this day by wearing purple. Let's show our visitors from Utah we are ready and have our game faces on, as well as our colors."

TCU (9-0, 5-0 in Mountain West Conference) sits at No. 4 in the Bowl Champion Series standings, the highest BCS ranking ever for a team from a conference without an automatic BCS bid. TCU is attempting to finish the regular season undefeated for the first time since 1938.

TCU and No. 14 Utah kick off at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in Amon G. Carter Stadium on the TCU campus. The game is sold out.
