Demand for billboard advertising in Lubbock, TX is strongest from August through November, when Texas Tech University's fall semester drives student population back to the city and the Red Raiders football season (September through November) generates peak game-day and event traffic at Jones AT&T Stadium. The South Plains Fair (late September / early October) and the Buddy Holly Music Festival (September) add additional high-traffic periods. January through May is also strong, as the spring semester keeps the university audience active. The off-peak window runs June through July, when students leave campus and the West Texas summer heat above 95°F reduces activity. A lead time of 4–6 weeks is standard; 8 weeks is advisable for fall football season opener and South Plains Fair windows.
