Jones AT&T Stadium

Jones AT&T Stadium is the home of the Texas Tech University football team and holds approximately 60,000 spectators on stands surrounding an artificial playing surface. The facility serves the university as a hub for athletic events and large-scale gatherings.

The stadium first opened its doors on November 29, 1947, and has been a fixture of Texas Tech University's athletic program ever since. Over the decades, the facility evolved alongside the university's growth and expanding sporting ambitions.

During football games, Texas Tech fans wearing red throw tortillas into the air at the start of matches, a custom that sets this venue apart from other college sports facilities.

The stadium features elevated seating sections that provide unobstructed views of the playing field and surrounding landscape, improving sightlines for spectators from any position. The venue is designed to handle large crowds with clear circulation patterns.

The building was deliberately designed with elevated viewing areas that frame not only the playing field but also vistas of Lubbock's flat landscape beyond. This combination of regional scenery as part of the viewing experience is uncommon in college sports venues.
