ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The New Mexico Lobos open the 2016 football season tonight as the Lobo welcome the South Dakota Coyotes (that’s said with two syllables, not three) to Branch Field at University Stadium. The game will officially kickoff at 7:08 p.m. and it will be televised on ROOT SPORTS Rocky Mountain, Northwest and Southwest. Below are all the important links to let you enjoy the game, whether you are making the trip to University Stadium, watching the game on TV, or listening to Robert Portnoy.
BUYING TICKETS & COMING TO THE GAME

The Ticket Office in WisePies Arena is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the University Stadium Box Office is open at 4 p.m. Fans getting tickets closer to game time should use the Northwest Corner ticket booths, as there are more windows, which means shorter lines.
The first 5,000 fans through the gates will receive Lobo Spirit Bands. Local favorites The Noms will be performing in the Howl Zone before the game, and then again at halftime on the field after the UNM Marching Band.
