An estimated 28,000 rambunctious New Mexico Lobo Football tailgaters are expected to surround Dreamstyle University Stadium to celebrate its 92nd homecoming game.
With all the fiesta and fun at Lobo tailgate parties, these events also come with safety and security measures. Depending on the game, regular home season football crowd may range between 18,000 to 25,000 potential tailgaters.
Michael Haggerty, Assistant Athletic Director of Events said there will be numerous police agencies; including, Albuquerque Police Department, Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department, New Mexico State Police, Rio Rancho Police Department, UNM Police Department, and Securitas.
UNM Police Lieutenant Trace Peck said the authorities don’t want to alert criminals of their strengths and weaknesses through their police count.
