Important Game Day Information for Season Opener

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — With the temperature expected to hit 90 degrees on Saturday for the 2:05 pm kickoff of the Lobo Football season opener with Montana State, Lobo Athletics wants to make sure fans are prepared to enjoy the game.

While there is expected cloud cover for the game, Lobo Athletics wants to make sure fans can properly cool down.  There will be two large cooling mister fans, both located under the north end zone video board, one on the east end of the board and one on the west end.

All concessions areas will have Aquafina water as well as shaved ice and agua fresca beverages along with cold beer and Pepsi products. While no Nalgene, Hydro Flasks or Stanley cups are allowed into University stadium, fans can bring one factory-sealed, unopened bottle of water (no larger than 20 oz.) into University Stadium, and the rule is one per fan.  There will be some shaded areas and tents located on the north concourse for fans to avoid the direct sun.

There are also water fountains near the concessions stands on the west concourse and along the north concourse.  Additionally, umbrellas are not allowed inside University Stadium.

Doors open 90 minutes prior to kickoff, opening at 12:30 pm and all parking lots (which open at 7 am) are accessed by right turns only. A reminder that UNM has a clear bag policy for all events, and that policy can be located here.  In the event of inclement weather or lightning, fans at the game will be directed on procedures via in-stadium announcements.
