We're about to find out how successful the New Mexico Bowl will be standing on its own. The Lobos can only play in the bowl game once every three years, which means they can't appear in the second edition of the game. I'm sure organizers are hoping New Mexico State lands a spot in the bowl game and boosts ticket sales.

If you're a true-blue college football fan and are ready to step up to support your city, the New Mexico Bowl is ready to sell you some tickets. Bowl organizers announced ticket go on sale today at the same price as last year, which actually was a pretty good deal for a bowl game.

Premium seats can be purchased for $30, tickets in the North end zone are $23 and the McDonald's family zone, located in the South end zone will feature four tickets for $60 with a voucher from New Mexico McDonald's locations. I'm not sure how you get those McDonald's vouchers since you have to jump through some hoops and go to a specific location to get a similar offer for UNM football tickets at Pizza Hut. I would call the New Mexico Bowl offices at (505) 925-5999 before running off to your nearest McDonald's.

This year's game will once again feature a team from the Mountain West Conference (not the Lobos) against a team from the Western Athletic Conference (maybe the Aggies) on Saturday, December 22, at University Stadium. The game will kickoff at 2:30pm and be broadcast on ESPN.
