Serving Red Raider Fans Around DFW
Matador Express Gameday Charters was created to serve Red Raider fans living in the DFW area who want an easy & affordable way to experience Texas Tech football in Lubbock with other Red Raiders.
This is a new service for DFW Red Raiders and as interest & awareness increases, we will add more charter coaches departing from other locations around DFW. Please Make a Reservation and/or Save Your Seat for an upcoming Gameday trip out to Lubbock on the schedule below.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email us at: thematadorexpress@gmail.com
Thank you for your interest. Wreck Em!
Full Gameday Experience
No More FOMO! Be a part of the action on campus for pregame festivities - head over to Spanky's, One Guys or Chimy's, check out Raider Alley and the Frazier Alumni Pavilion, or do whatever your Red Raider heart desires. We will try to arrive 2-3 hours prior to kickoff and leave 1 hour after the game to give you plenty of time to enjoy the full Raiderland experience inside & out of Jones AT&T Stadium.
No Hotel Needed
We all know hotels are hard to come by in Lubbock - you have to plan well in advance, and the rates are very high on gameday weekends. The AirBnB options can be difficult too. Skip the hassle and save your money. You'll be back home after the drive from Lubbock and can sleep in your own bed.
Just Chill ... We'll Drive
That 5 to 6 hours of drivetime - don't worry about it - now you can just sit back and relax comfortably while we do the driving. Listen to your podcasts & music, catch up on your shows or finally watch those movies you haven't had time for. We'll also provide all kinds of links to Tech football hype videos & shows to get you ready for the game.
First Class Comfort
Kick back and enjoy the ride. Matador Express is a first-class chauffered motor coach designed with your comfort in mind and upholds the industry standard for safety & reliability. Enjoy reclining leather seats, climate controls, the cleanest restrooms, onboard Wi-Fi, and large panoramic windows.
A Last Minute Option
We know plans change and actually, plans come at the last minute for most. We may have an open seat or two for those who just got tickets to the game, or if Lubbock friends invite them to visit, or have a homesick Tech student who could use some time with Mom and Dad.
