About United Supermarkets Arena

United Supermarkets Arena is an indoor multi-purpose arena located at 1701 Indiana Avenue on the Texas Tech University campus in Lubbock, Texas. The venue opened in 1999 as United Spirit Arena and was renamed United Supermarkets Arena in 2017. Owned and operated by Texas Tech University, it seats approximately 15,000 for basketball, with capacity adjusting for concerts and other event configurations.

The arena is the home of Texas Tech Red Raiders Men’s Basketball, Texas Tech Red Raiders Women’s Basketball, and Texas Tech Red Raiders Volleyball. It also hosts large touring concerts across country, rock, pop, and contemporary genres, along with comedy, family shows, graduations, university ceremonies, and other special events. National arena tours and country acts, including Riley Green’s Cowboy As It Gets Tour with Randy Houser, have played the venue.

Known locally as The USA, United Supermarkets Arena is the dominant indoor event space across a wide stretch of the South Plains and West Texas, with a reputation for a loud, intense home-court atmosphere during Red Raiders basketball games.

Location & Transportation

United Supermarkets Arena is located at 1701 Indiana Avenue, Lubbock, TX 79409 — on the Texas Tech University campus in Lubbock.

Driving and Parking: On-campus parking lots surrounding the arena are the primary option for most event-goers. Lots can fill before major basketball games and concerts, so arriving early is the best way to secure parking and allow time for the walk to the arena. Access is commonly via the campus street grid off Indiana Avenue and nearby campus roads.

Transit: Citibus operates service in Lubbock and on and around the Texas Tech campus. Transit can be useful for some campus-area trips, but Lubbock is a predominantly car-oriented city, so many fans and concertgoers drive or use rideshare.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate in Lubbock. Drop-off and pickup use designated campus curb areas, and post-event waits are common after sellout basketball games and large concerts.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are concentrated along nearby corridors including the Marsha Sharp Freeway and near the campus and Overton Park area. Additional hotel options are available in central and south Lubbock.

Venue Navigation

United Supermarkets Arena has a standard indoor arena layout with a two-tier seating bowl, a main concourse, and multiple campus-side entry points. Understanding the concourse and section layout before arrival helps you move more efficiently on high-attendance game and concert nights.

Entrances and Access: Multiple entrances serve the arena around the main concourse. Guests commonly arrive from campus-side approaches, including a north ramp entrance.

Concourse Levels: The arena features a lower level and an upper level surrounding the court, served by a main concourse. For Red Raiders games, the layout also includes a student section that contributes to the arena’s high-energy atmosphere.

Accessibility: ADA and accessible seating and services are available consistent with a modern university arena.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and event staff direct guests from the main concourse to seating sections. Arriving early is especially helpful for major basketball games, when crowds build at the main entrances before tipoff.

Concession stands inside United Supermarkets Arena offer standard arena fare. Alcohol availability varies by event and university policy, so food and beverage options can differ between basketball games, concerts, and special events.

Security & Policies

United Supermarkets Arena maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

How Much Do Tickets to United Supermarkets Arena Cost?

United Supermarkets Arena ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Texas Tech basketball and volleyball to high-demand headline concerts.

For Texas Tech basketball regular-season games, tickets are approximately $20–$75, with marquee Big 12 matchups often priced higher. Seat location and opponent play a major role, with lower-level sideline and courtside areas drawing stronger demand than upper-level sections.

For reserved concerts, tickets are approximately $45–$150+ depending on the act. Entry prices can vary widely by artist, day of week, and remaining inventory, while closer floor and lower-bowl seats usually command higher prices.

For high-demand headline concerts and premium seats, prices can reach $150 or more. Sellout dates, premium locations, and limited remaining inventory can push prices higher as the event approaches.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing for popular games and concerts. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise, especially for marquee matchups and major touring acts.

United Supermarkets Arena Seating Guide

United Supermarkets Arena uses a two-tier bowl with a lower level and an upper level surrounding the court, while concert setups can add floor seating depending on the production. For basketball, the student section helps shape the atmosphere and sightline experience throughout the building.

Best Seats at United Supermarkets Arena

• Best value: Upper-level sections and seats behind the baskets or ends are typically the most affordable, giving fans a full-arena view at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl courtside and sideline seats nearest the floor put you closest to the game, while floor seating is configured for many concerts.
• Best overall experience: Lower-level sideline sections near center court offer the strongest combination of sightlines, proximity, and Red Raiders atmosphere.
• Premium and suite options: Premium, club, and group seating areas are available for guests who want upgraded service or a coordinated experience.
• For groups: Groups are best accommodated through the venue’s group-sales options, and planning early helps when trying to keep seats together for high-demand games or concerts.
• General admission: General admission availability varies by event. The student section functions as GA-style seating for games, and some concerts may offer GA floor areas.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage or court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Getting Ready for Your United Supermarkets Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for major games and concerts on the Texas Tech campus.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile networks can be congested in a packed arena during major events. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Campus lots fill and entrances can back up before major basketball games and concerts, so give yourself extra time for parking, walking, entry, and security.
• Wear the right footwear. United Supermarkets Arena is a standard indoor arena with concourse ramps and stairs to upper seating, so comfortable shoes help if your seats require extra walking or climbing.
• Dress in layers. The arena is indoors and climate-controlled, but exterior walks across campus lots can be exposed to West Texas wind and temperature swings.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Arriving early is especially useful for high-demand events because parking lots and entrance areas get busier close to start time.
• Know your entrance. Knowing your section and nearest entrance helps during sellout events given the multiple campus-side access points.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
