ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The University of New Mexico football team’s “Spring Showcase” Friday night, April 17th practice to close out Spring Football will definitely bring fans up close with the squad, as the fan-friendly event will feature inflatables, live radio remotes, food, autograph sessions, and most importantly, Lobo football.
The Spring Showcase will take place at Branch Field at University Stadium with gates opening at 5:30 p.m, with practice running until around 7:15 p.m. The fan-friendly event is designed to let families come and have a great time, check out the team and get excited for the 2015 Lobo football season.
Parking for the event will be in the Stadium West lot, and it will be free. All fans are asked to enter the stadium at Gate 4 (NW Corner). Gate 3 will be available for handicapped fans as well.
