ED and RAE SCHOLLMAIER ARENA
OPENED 2015-16
Previously known as the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, the facility underwent a $72 million renovation that was completed during the 2015-16 season. The Schollmaiers provided the lead gift of $10 million. The Daniel-Meyer name is still prominent as the entire area is known as the DanielMeyer Athletic Complex. The TCU men’s and women’s basketball programs received new locker rooms and team meeting rooms as well as an expanded sports medicine center. There is also locker rooms for visiting teams and a new video board. The new building facade for the Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena architecturally complements Amon G. Carter Stadium and the TCU campus. The interior has a lower playing surface to increase courtside seating and provide a more intimate atmosphere. Wider concourses and multiple public entries have helped ease congestion. The fan experience is further enhanced by new concession stands, a food court and restrooms as well as increased points of sale. A new courtside club lounge is also located on floor level. The facility also includes offices for the athletics administrative staff as well as coaches in various sports, allowing the Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena to be the hub of TCU Athletics. Additional features of the Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena are the Jane & John Justin TCU Athletics Hall of Fame on the concourse level, offices for Olympic sports and administration and a larger main ticket office to support the arena and Amon G. Carter Stadium. ED AND RAE SCHOLLMAIER HISTORY Ed Schollmaier is the retired CEO of Alcon Laboratories, Inc., while Rae Schollmaier was a dedicated civic volunteer.
