Unversity of New Mexio Stadium

Home of the New Mexico Lobos, University Stadium opened its gates Sept. 17, 1960, when UNM hosted the National University of Mexico. The Lobos thumped their foreign visitors, 77-6, UNM's biggest margin of victory at University Stadium.

Prior to 1960, UNM played its home games at Zimmerman Field (1938-59) and University Field (1892-1937), where Ortega Hall, the Humanities building and Woodward Hall presently stand.

University Stadium was expanded prior to the start of the 2001 season. Capacity increased to 37,370 as 5,700 seats were added at the north end. The east and west stands were connected by a pavilion and LoboVision, a state-of-the-art videboard and scoreboard, was added. Prior to the start of the 2004 season the city of Albuquerque donated bleachers at the south end of the stadium, which has increased capacity to more than 38,000. 500 tickets a game in the bleacher seats are given away to underprivileged youth.

Located on the southeast corner of Avenida Cesar Chavez and University Boulevard, University Stadium can be easily accessed by exiting off I-25, just south of the Big-I, at Avenida Cesar Chavez. Head east on Avenida Cesar Chavez. After crossing University Boulevard, University stadium is located on the right.
