New Stadium Security Policies Announced
Texas Tech Athletics has announced new security measures for Jones AT&T Stadium that will go into effect immediately.
Texas Tech and the Big 12 Conference are increasing stadium security around the league due to concerns over recent events and the conference policy of making each stadium as safe and secure as possible. The following changes will be made beginning with the Kansas State game this weekend.
Effectively immediately, the screening of individuals and their possessions when entering Jones AT&T Stadium will be more stringent than in past games.
BAGS, BACKPACKS and/or similar items will not be allowed inside the Stadium.
Only small purses and diaper bags (with small child) will be allowed inside the stadium and will be thoroughly inspected prior to entry into the stadium.
Exceptions to the above changes will be handled on a case by case basis by Uniformed Officers.
The Stadium Pass-Out/Reentry policy will be available after the first quarter has begun. Items may not be brought into the stadium at re-entry.
Due to the heightened security, Texas Tech strongly advises fans to arrive early in order to avoid long delays. Fans who are not bringing items into the stadium will be directed to "Express Lanes" that will allow for easier access into Jones AT&T Stadium.
In efforts to provide a safe and secure environment for our patrons and others associated with home athletic events, Texas Tech will continue to monitor situations, and changes may be incorporated as necessary.
