Thirsty’s Fan HQ pop-up returns for Texas Tech fans - fox34.com

Coca-Cola's diner-style pop-up, Thirsty's Fan HQ, returns Saturday on Drive of Champions from 10 a.m.

Along with free Coca-Cola samples, folks can grab custom Coca-Cola and Texas Tech merchandise and snap photos at the setup on one of the most recognizable stretches of road near Jones AT&T Stadium.

Amendola, a former Texas Tech wide receiver who went on to win two Super Bowls, is scheduled to appear around 3 p.m. Saturday. For fans who grew up watching him play in Lubbock before he made it to the NFL, that's a pretty solid reason to show up mid-afternoon. He's one of the more decorated athletes to come out of Texas Tech, and seeing him back on Drive of Champions on a game weekend is the kind of thing that doesn't happen every season.

Everything at the pop-up is free to attend, and the merchandise gives people a chance to walk away with something beyond a cold drink and a trivia answer.
