Texas Tech is determined to build one of the finest facilities in college football and revealed plans on Monday for a $200 million project that will get underway in late November.
The project includes construction of a new four-story south end zone building that will enclose Jones AT&T Stadium and connect to an expanded Dustin R. Womble Football Center. Construction is expected to be completed in time for the 2024 football season. Texas Tech is calling this the largest contiguous football complex in the country.
“This is a historic day as we announce our intentions to construct what will be the premier football facility in the Big 12 Conference and nationally,” Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt said in a statement. “This facility, when completed, will not take a backseat to any other school in the country.”
Texas Tech has not yet completed the $200 million in fundraising, but the project is slated for groundbreaking immediately after the Red Raiders’ Nov. 26 regular season home finale against Oklahoma, pending Board of Regents approval.
