Texas Tech vs TCU
Lubbock is a fly-in-only trip for most fans. If the flight math does not work, the Fort Worth years are a much simpler weekend.

Planning
How to plan the trip
The order that saves the most money and the most stress.
- Lock the date first. Kickoff windows move, dates rarely do.
- Book refundable lodging before buying tickets, because rooms sell out faster than seats.
- Compare seat locations, not just price. Shade, wind and aisle access matter more than a few rows.
- Confirm the venue bag policy and payment rules before you leave the hotel.
- Plan the exit. Rideshare pickup zones are usually several blocks from the gates.
