Weekend Roundup: Lobos Open Practice to Prepare for 2017
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Four practices down … basically five weeks to go until the season opener on September 2 against Abilene Christian. The Lobos opened up Fall Camp on Thursday with the first of four straight acclimation practices before getting a day off on Monday. Thursday and Friday saw the team inside Dreamstyle Stadium in just helmets for a pair of evening practices, while Saturday and Sunday saw the team out on the South Practice Fields for a pair of mid-day practices wearing shells (helmets and shoulder pads).
The Lobos opened camp with 104 players (the maximum allowed is 105), and the downloadable practice roster has the breakdown by position. UNM returns plenty of starters on offense, and currently two starters on defense. Below fans can check out all the media attention from the first four days of practice as well as check out the practice schedule for the upcoming week. Fans should follow UNMLoboFB on Twitter for all the latest from practice.
Lobo Football not only is one of college football’s most entertaining teams, but it’s probably the most affordable and best value. Season tickets can be purchased for as low as $86 for a great six-game home schedule that features New Mexico State as well as bowl teams in Colorado State and Air Force. There are also new corporate plans available for businesses to take advantage of and bring a group out to Dreamstyle Stadium. To purchase new season tickets, call 505-925-LOBO, log on unmtickets.com or visit the Dreamstyle Arena Ticket Office Monday through Friday 8:30 am – 5:00 pm Mountain Time.
