The fourth annual New Mexico bowl, played in Albuquerque, New Mexico, will once again feature some stellar college bowl action. Pitting teams from the Mountain West Conference against the Western Athletic Conference, the NCAA sanctioned New Mexico Bowl is young but steeped in regional affectations. Played on the campus of the University of New Mexico, the bowl game is one a handful run by ESPN.
One of the more interesting aspects of the New Mexico Bowl is the game trophy, which is a twenty inch tall piece of Zia Pueblo pottery, adorned with Pueblo symbols. The New Mexico Bowl logo and the logos of the competing teams is also added to the trophy.
The Zia symbol is the same symbol that is found on the New Mexico state flag and is also incorporated into the bowl game logo. The unique trophies extend to the most valuable player trophies, which are made of traditional leather shields, another nod to the culture of New Mexico.
The first ever New Mexico Bowl took place in 2006 and pitted hometown New Mexico against San Jose State, in a game which San Jose State emerged as the victor, 20-12. New Mexico returned to the bowl a year later to take on Nevada, and this time won the game 23-0. In 2008, Colorado State attended the bowl to defeat Fresno State.
Unlike many bowl games and sports promoters who are still trying to raise prices even in the tough economic climate, the New Mexico Bowl organizers are keeping tickets the same prices as previous games. This is a wise idea to allow more fans to attend the game, giving a full crowd more access to a college bowl atmosphere. After all, the players would rather play to a full house of happy fans instead of a quiet stadium.
