The most famous Texas Tech tradition is the Masked Rider, a caped horseman who gallops across the field on a black horse before kickoff — it's one of college football's most thrilling entrances.
🎺
Pregame Rituals
Fans toss thousands of tortillas onto the field at kickoff and after touchdowns, a uniquely Lubbock tradition that the university has tried (and failed) to stop.
📣
In-Game Moments
The "Guns Up" hand sign is everywhere on game day, and the Goin' Band from Raiderland is one of the largest and most entertaining marching bands in the country.
🦅
Must Experience
Don't miss the team's walk from the Sports Performance Center to the stadium roughly two hours before kickoff.

PRO TIP
Position yourself near the south end zone tunnel before kickoff to witness the Masked Rider's dramatic full-speed entrance up close.
