Jones Legacy Gets Short Shrift | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech’s football stadium is getting a corporate makeover—now called Galaxy Stadium after a $75M deal—but the student section? Still “The Jones,” honoring Clifford Jones, Lubbock’s beloved former president and major donor. While fans have long called the whole stadium by his name, the university’s move to shrink his legacy to just one section feels like a betrayal. Jones, once known as “West Texas’ No. 1 citizen” and instrumental in building the stadium decades ago, deserves more than a nod to a tiny part of the venue. Why not Jones Galaxy Stadium? Or better yet, a dedicated park or tribute space to honor him properly. The university needs to do right by a man who gave so much—and fans deserve more than a half-hearted gesture.
