According to the post, fans who had previously purchased tickets to see Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn will be able to use them on the new date. Fans were also allowed to request refunds at the point of purchase if unable to attend, while new tickets were also made available.
Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec sent an email to students and their families Wednesday night confirming that a 'manhole' tunnel explosion caused a fire to spread on the campus, 'leading to outages' in different areas of the school. 'Electricity and gas were shut down across both the Texas Tech and Health Sciences Center campuses in Lubbock to keep the fire from spreading further,' read the Wednesday statement. 'The fire was successfully extinguished Wednesday evening.'
Brooks & Dunn is scheduled to perform at Austin's Moody Center on Friday and Corpus Christi's American Bank Center on Saturday before returning to Lubbock next week. The group is set to continue their Neon Moon Tour's first leg through late April. The tour is named after their 1992 hit of the same name.

Texas Tech alum Patrick Mahomes cheers Red Raiders on to victory in Game 2 of the WCWS
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Texas Tech evened up the finals of the Women's College World Series on Thursday night with one of the Red Raiders' biggest supporters on hand. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and former Texas Tech signal caller Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, cheered on the Red Raiders, who hung on to beat Texas 4-3 in Game 2 of the series behind the solid pitching of NiJaree Canady, forcing a decisive third game on Friday night. Both teams will be trying to win their first national championship. 'Come on!!! Let's go!' Mahomes posted on social media during the game, which started 50 minutes late because of storms. Mahomes and his wife were animated and seemingly in full 'sports fan' mode throughout the game. He appeared to be as involved in the game as he was in all his Super Bowl appearances, standing, clapping, yelling and encouraging the Red Raiders, hanging on every pitch. Prior to Game 1 on Wednesday, Mahomes gifted each Texas Tech player with a letterman-style jacket and a pair of shoes in Texas Tech Colors. 'First off, I love Texas Tech and everything Texas Tech's about,' Mahomes told ESPN from an extension of the press box at Devon Park. 'To have Nija here along with the other girls has been fun to watch. I've always loved softball and watching it. I'm happy it's been back in the Olympics and happy to have them here in Oklahoma City.' ___ AP sports:
