Texas Tech Game Day Guide: Parking, Drones, And Rules

Wes Kittley Drive of Champions, between 8th Street and Canton Avenue, will shut down to traffic three hours before each kickoff and stay closed until one hour after the final whistle. That stretch goes pedestrian-only, so if you're driving in and expecting to cut through that corridor, plan a different route. The new security scanners at stadium entrances are designed to move lines faster, which anyone who has stood at a slow gate on a hot September afternoon will appreciate.

For people who tailgate early or have pregame plans near the stadium, the three-hour window means the closure kicks in well before the crowd peaks. That's a longer buffer than some fans may expect, so adjusting arrival and parking plans ahead of time matters more this year than last.

The game day guide also covers drones and parking, but the source material cuts off before those details appear, so there's more to the full rulebook than what's covered here.

Texas Tech plays its home schedule at Galaxy Stadium, which opened in 2020 and seats around 60,000 fans, making it one of the largest venues on the South Plains.
