If you’re still deciding whether to book a spot for the last big weekend of summer, the current data gives a pretty clear answer: sooner

This is a genuinely good year to be a Lobos fan. After the program’s best season since 2007, New Mexico enters 2026 as the actual preseason favorite to win the Mountain West Conference, and that changes the whole energy of a fall spent camping just down the road from University Stadium.
