Next season’s regularly scheduled football game between New Mexico and Air Force will be played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, it was announced Thursday.
It’s an Air Force home game. The change in venue from the Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs) to Dallas was made at Air Force’s initiative; there’s a strong military presence in the area. But it also works out well for UNM, which recruits heavily in east/north Texas.
The game is scheduled for Oct. 15, 2016.
