Texas Tech Red Raiders Football Tickets

West Texas is quiet, with lots of open space. But it comes alive on fall Saturdays in Lubbock, when the Red Raiders play at home.

Texas Tech’s football program dates to 1925, when the team was first known as the Matadors. The school competed in the Southwest Conference from 1956 until its dissolution, and joined the Big 12 for its first season in 1996. The team boasts a dozen consensus All-America selections, and seven members of the College Football Hall of Fame.

The team plays home games at Jones AT&T Stadium, which seats just over 60,000 fans and has a unique scoreboard pairing. Behind the south end zone, you’ll see the old-school Double T scoreboard, which was installed in 1978 and looks every bit its age (in a good way). Behind the north is a 3,800-square foot HD jumbotron that is one of the largest in the country.

The Masked Rider – Tech’s mascot – leads the team onto the field for every home game. And when it comes time for the opening kickoff, you just might notice the tradition of students throwing tortillas in the stands. The Red Raider student section can be as fun and rowdy as they come.

A good tailgating option for visitors is Raider Alley, which has food, music, a pregame pep rally, and more.

Tech’s biggest rival is Baylor, against whom it has played regularly since 1929. Formerly a home-and-home affair, the series moved to AT&T Stadium in Dallas in 2011.
