Texas Tech will wrap Urbanovsky Park in a gated perimeter and security screening for its homecoming concert, and guests carrying the wrong bag will not get in. Blayne Beal, head of events for Texas Tech, said homecoming activities began Monday and have run all week.
Blayne Beal, head of events for Texas Tech, said homecoming activities began Monday and have run all week. He called it "a really good opportunity for our alumni to come back to campus." This year's celebration will look and feel different around Urbanovsky Park, he said.
Every guest goes through screening at entry, and a clear bag policy applies, the same one in effect at football and basketball games. Bags that are not clear stay outside. Prohibited items include food, drinks, alcohol, cigarettes, vapes, guns, fireworks, animals, cameras, coolers and tortillas to throw.
Texas Tech also limits parking to certain areas to prevent towing. All guest parking sits on the west side of the arena, Beal said. Anyone who has parked for a concert or basketball game at United Supermarkets Arena will recognize the lots, and everything on the west side of Indiana will be open. Beal said the measures aim to give guests a safe experience.
