FOOD ENHANCEMENTS WITH A LOCAL FLARE
 
And once the tailgating is done and fans are inside the stadium, they are going to get hungry, and UNM through partner Levy Restaurants has plenty of amazing new food items for fans to try, including many local dishes.
 
Among the new features on the menu are a few that are sure to become staples for all Lobo fans, including Tewa Tacos (ground beef, potatoes, cheese and lettuce served on house-made fry bread), Green Chile Cheese Fries (fries loaded with green chile and queso. Available at the North East Red Rally), Lobo Chicken Salad (mixed greens, onion, cheddar, tomatoes topped with smoked chicken and served with chipotle ranch – available at the 505 stand). 
 
What’s dinner without dessert, and Lobo Football has that covered as well with a Biscochito Ice Cream Sandwich (Housemade biscochitos with pistachio ice cream, sure to satisfy your New Mexico sweet tooth) and Deep Fried Bread Pudding (a croissant bread pudding, deep fried until golden brown and served with whipped cream – served at the North East concessions).
 
After fan feedback, new local beer selections will be offered.  Those will include Santa Fe, Starr Brothers, Marble, Odell, De La Vega and Bosque. Additionally, the 505 Stand will also have rotating local beers and draft carts.  If that wasn’t enough, this season we will have a six-tap, draft truck on the North concourse. Draft will be Bud, Bud Light, Shock Top and Odell craft drafts. Fans can also get New Mexico Piñion Coffee – local and fresh-brewed each game on the North Concourse. 
 

Perhaps the new delicacy most fans will be looking forward too is Levy’s new ‘Sweet Dreams Are Made of Cheese’ that will be located on the north concourse. This location will offer three different types of Mac and Cheese that include;
 
Pork and Mac – housemade mac and cheese topped with smoked pulled pork
Picadillo – housemade mac and cheese topped with picadillo and potatoes
505 – housemade mac and cheese topped with local green chile
 
Other food items will include LoboLicious BBQ, a new stand with three types of housemade BBQ sandwiches, served with kettle chips.  Lobo Hospitality has partnered with Sadie’s this year and will have a Sadie’s food truck on the concourse for fans to get their favorite Sadie’s dish.  Two new souvenir cups and buckets will be available for fans to collect.
 
Fans in premium areas can experience our Rotating Chef’s Tables: Custom rotating chef menus each game day in the U.S. Bank Suite and Club sections that will feature fan favorites and additional snacks.
 
And there’s more, we have partnered with local La-Montina Co-Op and have created a custom Green Chile Bratwurst that is 100% local. Beef and pork are from local farms as well as the green chile.
 
The Lobo Den Store at Dreamstyle Arena and the Lobo Den Stadium Stores will have all the Lobo gear a fan can need to dress the part of a Lobo fanatic.  Additionally, 2018 sees the return of Game Day Fridays, with 25% off Lobo gear on Friday.
 
For 2018, the Lobos are also continuing to work at reducing our carbon footprint.  We will be eliminating straws and lids for regular soda, saving an estimated 1,400 pounds in plastic and keeping it out of our landfills. Premium areas will now use biodegradable plates, napkins, cups and cutlery, which should save an estimated 9,000 gallons of water.
Fans should be on the lookout for our new Football Game Day page, which will be added to the website soon.  The Game Day page will be your one-stop place for weather updates, parking information, troubleshooting, new in-game activities and much, much more.
