New Mexico draws many top entertainment options, and that includes the New Mexico Bowl. In 2010, the New Mexico Bowl came
down to a game between the BYU Cougars and the UTEP Miners, with the Cougars heading home with the win. The 2011 edition of
the New Mexico Bowl is sure to bring more top athletic action to New Mexico.
The New Mexico Bowl always takes place around the holiday season every year, which has made it a holiday tradition in Albuquerque.
After years of planning, the New Mexico Bowl finally came to fruition in 2006, making it the first Division I bowl game in
New Mexico. Since then, NCAA football
has had a postseason home in New Mexico.
It makes sense that the New Mexico Bowl would be held at one of New Mexico's athletic gems. The University Stadium hosts the New Mexico
Bowl every year. University Stadium is the home of the University of New Mexico Lobos and it first opened in 1960. The University
Stadium features a capacity of more than 38,000.
Residents of New Mexico who are also college football fans make it a point to head to the New Mexico Bowl every year. Visitors
also make the trek to witness the top sports action. One of the best ways to experience the New Mexico Bowl is to make it
a group outing. Just make sure to act early in order to secure sports
tickets for everyone.
