LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech fans across the world have a chance to guess the official date and time the Texas Tech Athletics Department Facebook fan page will reach as many fans as the capacity of Jones AT&T Stadium.
The Red Raiders home football stadium seats 60,454 in comparison to the 50,600 fans who currently `LIKE' the official fan page. Contestants can enter the `Match the Capacity Contest' by "liking" the Texas Tech Athletics fan page at www.facebook.com/ttuathletics and clicking on the Match The Capacity tab located under the profile pic.
The contestant who guesses correctly or closest to the actual day and time that the amount of fans will match the capacity of the stadium will receive two complimentary Red Raider Football season tickets for the 2012 season. Three other contestants will be randomly selected to win an autographed Red Raider Football jersey or Tommy Tuberville autographed photo or helmet.
Texas Tech Athletics uses the social networking sites Facebook and Twitter to promote gameday information, live score updates, special promotions and ticket offers to fans in a way that instantly connects with thousands, typically directly to their cell phone. Both social media sites are interactive which allows fans to feel a sense of connection to Red Raider sports and departments.
Fans are able to post comments, photos and videos as well as participate in polls, surveys and discussions while Twitter allows fans to see real time updates in a short, simple way. Fans are able to repost and share with others the information placed on both sites.
Facebook gives Tech Athletics guidance on what our users expect to see on the social media page and how to keep everyone active. We strive to make sure our page is fresh with up-to-date information so that our fans keep coming back to visit.
Fans can also see advertisements as tabs on the main wall page giving them an opportunity to directly interact and receive information about 2011 football season tickets, the Red Raider Club, Tech Mobile and much more.
