Jones AT&T Stadium, home of Red Raider football since Nov. 29, 1947, is arguably one of the most electric game day atmospheres in all of college football. Armed with 60,000-plus rabid fans, Dave Curtis of The Sporting News proclaimed in May of 2010 that Jones AT&T Stadium was the best home field advantage in all of college football.

The stadium’s majestic beauty on the outside is the perfect facade for a rowdy and terrific game day experience that lies within its walls. Prior to the 2013 season, the experience of watching Red Raider football reached another level with the addition of a high-definition video board that spans 38 X 100 feet in size on a five-tier structure.

Several updates have taken place inside Jones AT&T Stadium over the last five years. The latest upgrades were put in place in 2017 with the installation of new FieldTurf as the playing surface. In 2015, Tech replaced the bleachers and seatbacks to provide improved seating options throughout the stadium. In 2014, Tech introduced premium seating areas and a renovated club area located in the north end zone. The renovation included outdoor club seats and transformed the ticket office into a premium lounge with exclusive concession options.

The north end zone project exceeded $16 million in the spring and summer of 2013. The project also included a new sound system that features sound banks on each side of the video board screen that are 38 X 16 feet in size. In addition, Jones AT&T Stadium features 157 feet of ribbon board that was added to the north side of the stadium from the northwest to northeast corners of the stadium. Ninety-four lineal feet of ribbon board was also added above the south end zone over the athletics offices.

Overall, since 2003, Texas Tech has invested $135 million during the past 10 years with four major renovations making Jones AT&T Stadium one of the best on-campus football facilities in the country. Included in the renovations, a $34 million east side stadium building, including 29 luxury suites and 544 club seats. These renovations also include new concession areas and restrooms throughout the stadium as well as a newly enlarged Texas Tech Locker Room, the headquarters for all your Texas Tech gear and souvenirs. The West Side Stadium Building officially opened for the 2003 football season. The $52 million dollar, 175,000 sq. ft. facility provides a large and accommodating press level for local and national media, more than 150 tv’s and video screens, 47 comfortable and private suites, 1,070 club seats, and a spacious, inviting club level.

The stadium was officially renamed from Jones Stadium to Jones SBC Stadium in 2000 following major corporate gifts (in excess of $25 million) from SBC Communications (now AT&T). The stadium was renamed again in 2006 to Jones AT&T Stadium after SBC Communications formally changed its name to AT&T.

The “Jones” in Jones Stadium comes from former Texas Tech president Clifford B. Jones and his wife Aubrey. The stadium was named in their honor upon its opening in 1947.
