The Double T scoreboard made its debut during the 1978 Texas Tech University football season. The iconic structure, a much-beloved fixture at Jones AT&T Stadium for more than 40 years, is the featured design of the 2024 Texas Tech University Ornament. The $300,000 scoreboard ($1.5 million in today's dollars) was a gift from Lubbock National Bank to the university. A formal presentation to Texas Tech President Cecil Mackey took place Sept. 21, 1978, during head coach Rex Dockery's first season at the Red Raider helm.
