Q: Why the increase?
A: This is the first time since 2017 that Texas Tech Athletics has increased RRC parking lot minimum levels. As season ticket prices have increased, so have seat contributions while parking minimums have not.
In addition, the department is seeking new revenue ahead of the most transformational time in intercollegiate athletics history. From the impact of conference realignment, changes to the college football playoff system, and revenue sharing with student-athletes, the financial realities facing athletics departments have never been more daunting.
Moving forward Texas Tech Athletics anticipates hosting seven home football games per year instead of historical six home games.
