Texas Tech to install new LED lights

As part of its continued football renovations, Texas Tech will install a new artificial playing surface to Jones AT&T Stadium beginning this summer as well as a new LED lighting system. Both projects were approved by the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents during its scheduled meeting this past February.  

Texas Tech last upgraded its playing surface with a FieldTurf product that was installed prior to the 2017 season. The two projects are estimated to cost roughly $2.2 million and will be funded through philanthropic gifts to the athletics department.

Texas Tech has already contracted the services of Hellas for its next playing surface, which will be its Matrix Helix® turf, the company's latest technology that has been installed recently at several NFL facilities, namely The Star in Frisco and AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys), SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles Rams), Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas Raiders) and the University of Kansas Health System Training Complex of the Kansas City Chiefs.
