Maybe it’s already been discussed but where are all the Cat fans staying for the New Mexico Game? Is it better by the stadium or is there a cool place downtown? Thanks in advance for any info! I’ll see everyone at the game! GO CATS!!!!

I am at the Hilton Garden Inn downtown which is close to the stadium. I worked across the street from the stadium for 14 months. I don't remember or see anything I liked near the stadium.

Residence inn. Close to the stadium. Haven't been to Albuquerque since I was a kid. Anybody have restaurant suggestions?

You should all stay at the Tamaya. I stayed there for work a few years ago when we had a tradeshow in Albuquerque. And if you take your wife or girlfriend, it's where the Bachelorette was filmed in 2021. So they'd all recognize it. Lol

There's a really good Mexican restaurant we ate at one night too. You were covered but all the seating was outside. Get a reservation. I'll have to see if I can figure out which. It was seriously worth it. Whatever you do make sure you're getting food with hatch green chilli's everywhere you go.

Edit
El pinto. That's the restaurant. Seriously boys. Eat there. The margaritas are the bomb dot com. I had 2 jalapeño ones. And I'm not the guy ordering margaritas everywhere I go.

Following. Group of 5 buddies all have flights and nothing else at this point. Will entertain the Airbnb scene as well, but location seems more important.

Off topic: I realize single game tickets are currently not available on NM's website. Anyone have an general idea when those will become available? Not too worried, just curious. Judging by season tickets going for $80-$150 and barely any sold... it seems safe to assume they will be widely available and relatively cheap.

Edit: August 12th single tickets become available per https://www.unmloboclub.com/tickets-par ... index.html

Go Cats!

Those secondary prices are way too high. They're counting on some of us being impatient or afraid we'll miss out on tickets.
