Sports enthusiasts:  Lubbock is literally loaded with things to do for you! Our sunny climate allows year-round outdoor activities like golfing, mountain biking, and camping.  And, hold on collegiate sports fans!  What other West Texas towns host heavy weights like the University of Nebraska, Ohio University, and the University of Texas to compete against their local university?  Big XII team, Texas Tech, keeps our city buzzing with major sports excitement.  

We’re proud of our local sports teams, and our entire community comes together to support them.
