Fan Information: Texas Tech vs. Houston

The game airs nationally on FOX and the Texas Tech Sports Network, putting Lubbock in the spotlight for a Friday night showdown between two ranked teams. Fans making the trip to Galaxy Stadium should download tickets ahead of time instead of waiting to sort it out at the gate. Tech is also asking the crowd to wear black for the Red Raiders.

The early parking window matters for anyone who tailgates or wants a decent spot near the stadium. Donor lots open a full four hours before kickoff, giving fans planning to make a day of it time to get settled before the game begins. With FOX cameras in town, expect Galaxy Stadium and the surrounding lots to fill up faster than a typical Friday night. Plan around that early opening, since a nationally televised top-25 game tends to draw a crowd that shows up early and stays late.
