In 1956 it parked 850 cars making it that city’s largest Drive-in. It was owned by Breaden&Beeson.
Thanks again Mike.
Boy, There are alot of Drive-ins in Texas.
Its a big state.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 715 N University Ave, Lubbock, TX 79415. Now a ballpark.
One of the things I remember most about Texas during my stay there in the summer of 1991, lots and lots of open land and lots and lots of abandoned drive ins, even explored a few of them!
My fading memory remembers the drive in picture with the Red Raider on his horse.
Site is now Westerner baseball and softball fields.
How did the Texas Tech University Red Raider team get there name from?
