The South Plains Fairgrounds, located on the east side of Lubbock, Texas, is the home of the Panhandle-South Plains Fair, which occurs in late September each year.

The fairgrounds consist of around 65 acres (26 ha) situated along the western edge of upper Yellow House Canyon.

[1] The South Plains Fairgrounds was the first home field for the Texas Tech Red Raiders football team.

At the time, the campus of Texas Technological College was still an open range without a sizable area clear of grass burrs and goat heads, so head coach Ewing Y. Freeland held the first Matadors game on the open grass fields of the fairgrounds.

The South Plains Fairgrounds remains the only home field of the Red Raiders not located on the Texas Tech campus.
