Texas Tech Urges Fans To Excercise Good Sportsmanship
Texas Tech, in conjunction with the NCAA and Big 12 Conference, is continuing with its policy directed toward sportsmanship and public safety. The organizations put forth the initiative prior to last season.
The NCAA established a policy prohibiting post-game celebration on the fields of play throughout the country, including the Big 12 Conference and Texas Tech. As a member institution of the Big 12 Conference, Texas Tech supports the policy and must adhere to it.

Red Raider fans can purchase officially licensed Texas Tech gear at various locations around the stadium on Saturday. The official store of Texas Tech Athletics is the Double T Zone which is located next to the ticket office in the north end of Jones SBC Stadium. The Double T Zone will also offer remote locations on each side of the stadium before and during the game.
