Putting Lubbock CountyBack In The Saddle Go Go EXPO. In November 2018 Lubbock County voters overwhelmingly said Yes to a 2 percent increase in Hotel Occupancy Tax HOT that allowed a start to plan design develop and fundraise beyond the HOT for a multipurpose arena that would be capable of hosting a variety of events. Those events would be including but not limited to concerts family shows sporting events community and high school sporting events and ceremonies rodeos and other agricultural and equestrian shows. Much passion has been behind this process since voters agreed this would be not only an economic addition to Lubbock but it is also an addition our community needs and deserves.
