A bit more than five years ago, Eddie Nuñez walked through the Albuquerque International Sunport on his way to interview for the athletic director’s job at the University of New Mexico.
He said he noticed the lack of UNM athletics’ signage throughout the airport. Since then he’s wanted to change that.
That’s no longer the case. Lobo sports and UNM signage will now be prominent at Sunport, and UNM gear will be sold at the retail stores that passengers walk by on their way to their departure gates or toward luggage pick-up. UNM and the Sunport, along with Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller announced on Monday a joint, non-monetary partnership.
