Saturday afternoon saw The University of New Mexico play host to the first major sporting event with fans in attendance in 353 days when Lobo Baseball defeated Air Force at newly refurbished Santa Ana Star Stadium. Now, chalk up another first, this time as Danny Gonzales hosted one of the first in-person sports press conferences in nearly a year. Coach Gonzales had the media out for the opening of spring practice, and then met with the media on the third floor of the Tow Diehm End Zone Facility.
The press conference took place on the west end with the sliding doors open, giving the presser a breezy, cool feel as Gonzales talked about the history of Lobo Football and what he saw on day one.
The next practice is Wednesday morning at 9:30 am. The first practice open to fans will be on Saturday at 9:30 am inside University Stadium. Fans for that Saturday practice should enter at Gate 1 in the southwest corner.
