Where to
park.
Jones AT&T Stadium sits in the middle of campus, so Texas Tech parking is equal parts strategy and timing. Here's every way in — reserved lots, park-and-ride, the $6 shuttle — and exactly when to roll up.
The timing
When the lots open.
Gameday parking is won in the morning. Here's the clock, from Friday's RV arrivals to the last walk-in before kickoff.
- Fri, 5:30 PMRV lots open
RV pass holders can pull in Friday evening and must be out by 10 AM Sunday. Everyone else waits for Saturday.
- 7:30 AMCampus lots open
Every pre-purchased lot on campus opens at 7:30 AM. Park in the exact lot — and space — printed on your pass.
- Kickoff −3:00Shuttles start rolling
Park-and-ride buses and the Citibus shuttle begin running from the remote lots to the stadium three hours before kickoff.
- Kickoff −2:00Raider Alley opens
The pregame party in the Engineering Key kicks off two hours out, with live music, food, and drinks.
- Kickoff −0:45Head for the gates
Give yourself the walk-in buffer — from the far lots it's a real hike to Jones AT&T.
The options
Four ways to park.
Grab a pass for the USA Auto or S-1 lots, or use the designated free park-and-ride lot. Buses run to the stadium from three hours before kickoff until an hour after the final whistle.
Roundtrip shuttle for $6 per person. Pick-up is north of the John Walker Soccer Complex (Texas Tech Pkwy & 10th St); ADA pick-up is northwest of the Health Sciences Center (5th St).
RV pass holders get in Friday at 5:30 PM and stay through the weekend — just clear out by 10 AM Sunday. Book the pass ahead through Athletics.
Park in your assigned spot — or get towed.
Passes are tied to a specific lot and space. Cars parked in the wrong spot, or blocking the space next to them, are subject to towing. When in doubt, match the number on your pass.
