Gameday Changes and Notes
Via Texas Tech Athletics Communications
"Texas Tech announced changes to its gameday bus traffic Wednesday as fans utilizing the parking areas at United Supermarkets Arena, the John Walker Soccer Complex or the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center will be dropped off on the north sidewalk of the stadium between Gates 3 and 4. Fans will be picked up from that same location following the game.
The flow of traffic out of the C-1 lot immediately west of Jones AT&T Stadium has also changed as Drive of Champions will move to one-way heading both east and west toward University Avenue and Flint Avenue. Fans with a C-1 pass can enter via Glenna Goodacre Boulevard or the new entrance on the Marsha Sharp Freeway access road."

"The new Raider Alley location will be in Texas Tech’s historical engineering key, serving as the center for all pregame and tailgating excitement in the heart of campus.
Raider Alley will open at 11 a.m. Saturday, giving fans a variety of food and beverage options as well as a pregame concert, inflatables for kids and a pep rally. A live DJ will provide music from 11 a.m. to noon before the Hogg Maulies take the stage at 12:30 p.m. followed by a pep rally featuring the Goin’ Band from Raiderland and the Texas Tech spirit squads at 2:15 p.m. Fans can reserve their tailgate space by visiting Tailgate Express."
