Texas Tech will host West Virginia at 11 a.m. Saturday on Senior Day at Jones AT&T Stadium
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech will close the regular season at home Saturday when the Red Raiders host West Virginia on Senior Day inside Jones AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 11 a.m. with coverage provided nationally on FOX Sports 1 and the Texas Tech Sports Network.
Below is a listing of gameday information fans can expect this Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.
TICKETS STILL ON SALE FOR SATURDAY
Fans still have time to lock in their seats for Saturday as a limited supply of tickets still remain through the Athletic Ticket Office. Tickets can be purchased online at TexasTech.com or by speaking to a ticket sales representative at 806-742-TECH. The Texas Tech Ticket Office will open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday to assist fans with tickets for Saturday's game as well as Friday night's men's basketball game against Northern Colorado.
"TAP AND GO" MOBILE TICKET SYSTEM TO SPEED UP STADIUM ENTRY | DIGITAL TICKETING INFO
Texas Tech has introduced a new "tap and go" mobile ticketing system this season to assist fans with quicker entry each gameday. All football tickets, including premium areas, remain 100 percent mobile only but will not utilize a QR code for scanning moving forward. Instead, fans will place their downloaded mobile ticket near ticket scanners that will identify each mobile ticket wirelessly. Fans with multiple tickets will need to swipe horizontally to each ticket and tap it near the scanner for entry.
Most importantly, Texas Tech no longer accepts screenshots of mobile tickets in order to further protect ticket holders from scams or counterfeit purchases. Fans needing to transfer their tickets can do so online via their TexasTech.com account or by utilizing the official Texas Tech mobile app. Step-by-step instructions can be found here via TexasTech+.
SENIOR CLASS TO BE RECOGNIZED PRIOR TO KICKOFF
Texas Tech will honor 20-plus members of its senior class prior to kickoff Saturday in an on-field ceremony featuring the family members of each senior as well as Joey McGuire and his wife, Debbie. The senior ceremony is expected to begin around 10:35 a.m. immediately following pregame warmups.

There isn't a better spot on gameday than Raider Alley presented by Bud Light. Raider Alley opens four hours prior to kickoff each Saturday, featuring plenty of entertainment for fans of all ages in the heart of the Texas Tech campus. Raider Alley will be headlined each week by a pregame musical act beginning two hours prior to kickoff each week.

SIXTH STREET REOPENS FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC
Texas Tech has reopened Sixth Street between the South End Zone Building and the Sports Performance Center to pedestrian traffic this season. The area was previously closed due to construction on the South End Zone Building and the Dustin R. Womble Football Center project. Access to areas near the Womble Football Center will be restricted to pedestrians until the project is completed later this season.
BIG CHICKEN AMONG NEW CONCESSION OPTIONS
Texas Tech has expanded its concessions options this season with the addition of Big Chicken as well as two new grab-and-go marketplaces. Big Chicken, the chain founded by Shaquille O'Neal, is located on the southeast side of the new south end zone concourse, while Touchdown Tavern will serve hot food options further west. Touchdown Tavern will also contain a grab-and-go marketplace, one of two new self-serve locations for Jones AT&T Stadium this season that is open to all fans. In addition to Touchdown Tavern, Texas Tech has constructed a new marketplace on the mezzanine level dubbed Matador Marketplace on the west side of the stadium, giving fans four quick grab-and-go options between its original location near Gate 1 and the "Take Three" marketplace near Gate 4 in the northeast corner of the stadium.
TEXAS TECH PARTNERS WITH STADIUMDROP FOR SIMPLER CONCESSION DELIVERY
Fans can skip the concession lines this season by utilizing StadiumDrop for in-seat delivery of various food and alcoholic options. StadiumDrop is a peer-to-peer, in-seat food and beverage order and delivery application that allows fans the ease of ordering stadium concessions through the Texas Tech mobile app. StadiumDrop, which resembles many home food delivery apps, will have staff at each home game to assist with in-seat delivery.
