Home Teams: Texas Tech Red Raiders (NCAA College Football)
The Jones AT&T Stadium (not to be confused with AT&T Stadium in Arlington, where the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys play) has been home to the Texas Tech Red Raiders football team since 1947, though it has undergone extensive renovation and expansion in the years since. Located on the Lubbock campus of Texas Tech University, the stadium is laid out as a warm open bowl that bakes under the blue Texas sky. As of 2008, an attractive Spanish Renaissance-style facade was added to the east side of the stadium’s exterior. The Red Raiders have provided plenty of thrills and victories over their years in the stadium, with 9 of their 11 conference titles coming after the move to the Jones AT&T Stadium in 1947. The vast majority of these titles (8) came within a single dominant stretch between 1947-1955, in which the Red Raiders also won the Sun Bowl and Gator Bowl (their overall Bowl record, however, at 16-23-1, leaves a bit to be desired). Students, alumni, and local Texas football fans fill up the parking lots to tailgate before home games before packing the stands with scarlet red clothing to cheer on their team, singing “Fight, Raiders, Fight” along with the Goin’ Band from Raiderland marching band. The team has two mascots. The Masked Rider (similar to Zorro) leads the team onto the field, riding his horse with guns blazing into the sky, while Raider Red is a slightly friendlier cowboy type with an enormous scarlet mustache. Aside from Red Raiders games, Jones AT&T Stadium does not typically host other large-scale events (such as concerts), though this could be subject to change in future. If you show up to Jones AT&T Stadium with an empty stomach, you won’t be hungry for long, with all manner of tasty snacks like Raiderland Pizza slices, hot dogs, and End Zone BBQ sandwiches on offer, as well as plenty of cold beer. For Red Raiders merchandise, head to any of the many kiosks or shops inside Jones AT&T Stadium or around campus.
Jones AT&T Stadium is a large venue that offers many different seating options for visitors to choose from.

For those who prefer to sit in the midst of the roiling crowd, put on a scarlet red shirt and plunge right into the big public admission seating areas that fill most of the stadium.

The easiest way to understand the campus parking system around Jones AT&T Stadium is to check out the parking map on the Red Raiders website. All of the closest parking lots (red on the map) are designated as Red Raider Club Member parking and thus are unavailable for public parking. Other lots are open only to season ticket holders. The lots marked in green, however, are open to all fans (and they’re free!) on a first come, first served basis. It is a little bit of a walk to the stadium from those lots, but nothing too strenuous.
The Free Fan Parking zones (green on the map, see the Red Raiders website) are as advertised: free! Spaces are allotted on a first come, first served basis, so be sure to turn up early to avoid disappointment.
