stairs to the stadium

 

Texas Tech adopts the latest advertising fad.  If branding "Texas Tech" on every surface isn't enough, now the staircases to the stadium boost fan spirit -- if it could be seen when the 60,000 fans pour into "the Jones" for a football game.  The stadium has come a long way since it was first built in 1947 with a capacity of 27,000 and named for Tech President Clifford B. Jones and his wife Aubrey.  Expansions, additions and sponsors (AT&T) have changed the site but the fans have changed as well.  I still remember what I wore to my first Tech  football game as a freshman -- olive green two-piece suit, hose and heels-- and I fit right in with the rest of the student body in suits, blazers and dresses!
