LUBBOCK, Texas — Big news is firing up Raiderland as Texas Tech University has officially announced a stunning $350 million renovation project for the iconic Jones AT&T Stadium. Already one of the most electrifying venues in the Big 12, the home of the Red Raiders is set to undergo a transformation that will make game days in Lubbock bigger, louder, and bolder than ever before.
The centerpiece of the renovation is an expanded seating capacity, giving more fans the chance to raise their “Guns Up” on Saturdays and ensuring that Jones AT&T Stadium remains one of the toughest environments for visiting teams in the conference.
But the project doesn’t stop at more seats—it’s a total reimagining of the Red Raider experience. Planned upgrades include:
Expanded & Comfortable Seating: Wider chairs, upgraded student sections, and improved sightlines designed to keep the Jones rocking from kickoff to the final whistle.
Gigantic Video Boards & High-Tech Sound Systems: State-of-the-art displays and audio enhancements to capture the action and pump energy throughout the stadium.
Modernized Concessions & Fan Amenities: Faster service, more menu variety, and redesigned concourses to keep the flow smooth and the atmosphere buzzing.
Luxury Suites & Premium Club Seating: New high-end hospitality areas to attract corporate partners, alumni, and major donors.
Athlete Facilities Upgrade: Expanded locker rooms, training centers, and recovery areas to provide Red Raider players with some of the best resources in the nation.
Accessibility & Safety Enhancements: More elevators, escalators, and ADA-compliant features to make the Jones welcoming to every fan.
Texas Tech Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt emphasized that this is more than just construction—it’s a legacy project:
> “Jones AT&T Stadium is the pride of West Texas, and this investment ensures it will remain one of the premier venues in college football. Our fans deserve the best, and our players deserve world-class facilities—this project delivers both.”
The timing is pivotal as the Red Raiders continue to carve their place in the new Big 12 landscape. With recruiting battles heating up across the nation, world-class facilities will give Texas Tech a competitive edge while boosting the game-day experience for one of the most loyal fanbases in college football.
Local businesses across Lubbock are also bracing for a boost, as the project is expected to drive millions in new revenue thanks to bigger crowds, enhanced game-day tourism, and more nationally spotlighted matchups.
Construction will roll out in phases to allow the Red Raiders to keep playing at home, with full completion expected by the 2027 season.
Red Raider Nation has already lit up social media with excitement. One fan posted: “$350 million to make the Jones louder? Good luck to anyone trying to come to Lubbock and win. Wreck ’Em!”
With this bold investment, Texas Tech is sending a clear message: the future of Red Raider football is bright, fearless, and ready for the next chapter.
