RAIDERGATE POLICIES
RaiderGate is an opportunity for Texas Tech University (TTU) students to gather and prepare for Red Raider football games in a fun, festive, and safe environment.
RaiderGate passes are available to Texas Tech University students only. Passes may be obtained from the Student Government Association (Student Union 3rd Floor, 806.742.3631) on the Monday before each football game that has a RaiderGate attached to it. Each individual student may get two (2) passes, one for a vehicle and one for a smoker. If a student is reserving spots for a registered student organization, they can reserve a maximum of six (6) passes. The student(s) who obtains the RaiderGate pass(es) must be present in the vehicle on the day of the event.
RaiderGate will be held at the R-1 Parking Lot (TTU campus). RaiderGate will open four (4) hours prior to kickoff. Pass holders must check in at the entry station located at 15th & Detroit Street (TTU campus). Entry gates will close two (2) hours prior to kickoff, and no vehicles will be allowed to enter at that time. RaiderGate activities will end one (1) hour before kickoff, and the lot will be cleared by RaiderGate staff and security, so students can attend the football game.
