The Texas Tech Red Raiders and Texas Longhorns will lock horns on Wednesday night in front of a raucous Austin crowd, and by raucous, I mean just as wild as it was last year when Texas Tech went to Austin, and by that I mean pretty much empty.
Ryan Mainville of The Daily Toreador reported yesterday that officials in Austin had scaled back the attendance policies heading into the game against Texas Tech amidst a growing number of COVID-19 cases in Big 12 programs.
I m mostly joking about this being usual for Texas to not have any fans, though their home average ranked 5th in the Big 12 last season with just over 9,000 fans per home game compared to the 14,000 that Texas Tech averaged. This year, Texas Tech has been operating at a 25 percent capacity, which has been a definite change of pace for the Red Raiders.
