Originally with a capacity of 18,000, the grandstand was situated in a semi oval. The first major renovation was before the 1960 season, when $2 million was spent adding 14,500 seats to the stadium. The field was lowered allowing more seats to be installed. Lights were also added at this time. Before the 1970 season, Astroturf replaced the grass field and two years later the stadium was expanded again to seat 47,000 fans. In August 2000, AT&T Communications gave Texas Tech $20 million, allowing the university to expand and renovate the stadium. As part of the deal, the stadium was renamed Jones AT&T Stadium.

The expansions included a new three story press box with 21 luxury suites, increasing the capacity by 8,000 and modeling the fa�ade after Spanish Renaissance Architecture to fit in with its surroundings. In December 2005, Texas Tech regents approved the construction of a parking garage and addition of 22 luxury suites on the east side of the stadium. In March 2007, Texas Tech presented a plan that would add 30,000 seats over the next 20 years to Jones AT&T Stadium. The first $25 million phase was approved in August 2008 and added a Spanish Renaissance facade to the east side of the stadium. It also included an addition of 1,000 seats, 550 club seats and 26 luxury suites. A $6 million expansion was approved in May 2009 adding 6,000 seats to the east side of the stadium. This expansion pushed the seating capacity to over 61,000. Today, fans have a outstanding stadium to come enjoy Red Raiders football games.
