For Lobo football, return to Vegas brings back poignant memories of 2020

Setting up the logistics for a road trip is always an arduous task for Gavin Bevis, the University of New Mexico football director of operations.

But the Lobos’ upcoming trip to Las Vegas, Nevada is easy compared to all the planning that went into the team’s unprecedented 43-day stay in Las Vegas in 2020, during the coronavirus-shortened season.

“Piece of cake,” Bevis said about planning the logistics of the team’s trip to Vegas for its Friday night game against UNLV at Allegiant Stadium.

In 2020, UNM camped at Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa in Henderson, Nevada and trained at Sam Boyd Stadium.
