Built in the style of Spanish Renaissance architecture, it is the home field of the Texas Tech Red Raiders of the Big 12 Conference.

It was named after Clifford B. Jones, Texas Tech's third president (1939–1944), and his wife, Audrey, who donated $100,000 (equivalent to $1.36 million in 2023[5]) towards its construction.

[13] For 2006, the stadium was upgraded with a $2 million inner field wall that matches the traditional Texas Tech style brick façade.

In February 2006, the university announced plans to add $60 million worth of upgrades including additional luxury suites, a 1,000-car parking garage, an upper deck, a facade on the east side of the stadium and more seating.

Most of the money came from private donations, including a large contribution from AT&T and a $1 million matching gift from Board of Regents member Larry Anders.

[22] The additional general admission seating was opened in the north end of the stadium on October 24, 2009, bringing capacity at that time to 58,930.

[23] In January 2013, construction began adding another 368 seats in the north end zone, in addition to an observation decks that holds 40.

The $16 million project also included a significantly upgraded jumbotron with a new sound system, a Spanish Renaissance-themed colonnade, and a new north end zone concourse connecting the two stadium halves.

[24] As part of these renovations, the Double T scoreboard was also updated with new white LED panels and many seats in the stadium were repainted red.

Additionally, AT&T completed an upgrade to its distributed antenna system in the stadium, increasing data capacity and call reliability.

The headlining project of the campaign is a renovation of the south end zone athletic offices into a premium seating area with luxury suites.

[26] On December 2, 2021, Cody Campbell, a former player and Board of Regents member, donated $25 million towards the south end zone project.

[29][30] The unique Double T scoreboard modeled in the fashion of Texas Tech's logo is emplaced on the roof of the athletic department offices in the south end zone and was installed prior to the beginning of the 1978 season.

The scoreboard has remained in place through multiple stadium renovations due to its iconic and symbolic value, and received upgraded white LED panel installations in 2013.

Due for completion prior to the commencement of the 2013 season, the $11 million jumbotron mounted in the north end zone of the stadium is one of the largest in the country.

The video board supports were covered with a decorative Spanish Renaissance architecture facade and feature wells for shooting pyrotechnics.

[38] Neither the biggest nor the loudest, Jones Stadium and its crowd helped the Raiders pull off recent upsets of Texas and Oklahoma.
