Tech to replace Jones AT&T Stadium turf this off-season

The surface on which Michael Crabtree won two Biletnikoff Awards, Jace Amaro set receiving records for a tight end and Patrick Mahomes became an FBS total offense leader will be coming up soon.

Texas Tech will replace the 11-year-old FieldTurf in Jones AT&T Stadium this offseason, an athletic department official said Wednesday.

Quotes on the project are due early next week, senior associate athletic director Robert Giovannetti said.

“We’ll choose from those quotes,” Giovannetti said, “and the plan is to start the process in early winter and be complete in time for spring football.”

A 5-foot field wall and the current surface were installed before the 2006 season.
