ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The University of New Mexico’s final game of the season with Wyoming has been selected for an 8:15 p.m. kickoff on either ESPN2 or ESPNU, and that game will serve as UNM’s Fan Appreciation Game, as well as #LateNightLobos.
Lobo football has found success with the 8:15 p.m. ESPN slot, winning it’s last four times in that time slot, playing in front of anywhere from 73 to 95 million homes depending on the network. Last year New Mexico defeated Boise State 31-24 and Air Force 47-35 in that time slot, and have defeated Nevada 35-26 and Utah State 24-21 in that slot this season.
New Mexico is currently 7-3 and 5-1 in the Mountain West, sitting tied for first place in the Mountain Division with Boise State and Wyoming. With Mountain West Conference Championships and Bowl destinations still to be determined, the Lobos are looking to finish strong at home this season. That is why November 26 hosting Wyoming at University Stadium is Lobo Football Fan Appreciation Night.
All University Stadium seating in Cherry, Turquoise, Silver & Premium Seating sections are available for purchase for just $10 and tickets in US Bank Zia Level will be available for $30. Tickets to the fan-friendly Chama River Brewing Company Craft Corner, located at the base of the South end zone, will be available for purchase at $20.
In addition to promotional ticket prices, parking prices have been adjusted for this game. If you are a Lobo Football season ticket holder, you will be able to park absolutely free in the Stadium East lot, or any other paid lots. Fans who purchase their individual game tickets for this event in advance, will be charged only $5 to park in any of the paid lots (including Stadium East). Fans who have not purchased their tickets prior to the game will be charged $10 to park in Stadium East and $5 in all other paid lots, so make sure you get your tickets early!

“We appreciate our fans, and wanted to show our appreciation as well as have a great turnout for this final game of the season,” said Vice President for Athletics Paul Krebs. “Our football team is having an outstanding season, is tremendously exciting and features great student-athletes that work hard on the field and in the classroom. We hope Lobo fans will come out in large numbers to support the team and coaches in recognition of what we are building with UNM Football.”
Along with the free parking for Lobo Football season ticket holders, the names of season ticket holders will be drawn at random for special giveaway prizes (must be present to win) such as: Airline vouchers, televisions and restaurant gift cards. The first 5,000 fans through the gates will receive Lobo texting gloves, which allow the wearer to operate the surface of most phones without having to remove the gloves.
