So....I'm originally from Texas and grew up going to the Houston Rodeo yearly. I've also seen bull…read morefighting in Central America. However, I've never been to a bull riding event, until now. Parking was $25. PBR was over two hours of relentless, thrilling bull riding action. Awesome music was blasting the entire event. Not sure if the guy was a clown or just someone to keep the energy level up, but he kept that energy pumped. He also has (had) great dance moves. Bulls are beautiful, ginormous and oh so fast. I realized that riding a bull with one hand while keeping the other hand off the bull and your body is an amazing display of bravery and athletic skill. Wow...8 seconds can feel like a long time. I was pleasantly surprised and the PBR really went beyond what I thought it would be. I had a blast watching the bull riders. Something new I learned: The strap underneath a bull is not tied around the bull's testicles like I've heard for my entire life. The rope is meant to motivate the bull to kick more with its back legs while bucking, which really puts a rider's skills to the test in staying on.

Have I been to bigger, more elaborate, and well appointed stadiums in my life? As someone living in…read moreSEC Football country, of course I have. That said, I am an alumni of a mid-major program whose stadium actually looks a lot like this one in design, capacity, and well... remoteness. The world of NIL Money has made it harder for programs like these to compete, but you'd never know it from the fans. I was invited by a couple Lobos fans to join in on a game against Colorado State. We treated ourselves to box seats behind the end zone, complete with a full catered buffet of hot dogs, grilled chicken and pork, potatoes and beans, frito pie, popcorn, and sodas. There was also a private bar and bathroom, for a price that would easily be a fifth of what you'd pay in the SEC, and that is generous. Was the food good? I mean, not really, but it was stadium food and fine. But the football ended up being fun to watch. The Lobos were having a sloppy day, with 4 turnovers, keeping Colorado State in the game the whole time. CSU had problems of their own with three interceptions, ultimately leading the Lobos to a 4th quarter charge that sprung them to victory. The highlight of the day was a section of fans with their shirts off spinning them in the air in the far upper corner of the visiting bleachers. They got attention on the big screen as the Lobos were starting to rally, then their ranks swelled as people "Joined the movement.' By games end, there were several hundred fans spinning their shirts and cheering relentlessly for the Lobos, and they eventually made their way down into the student section. You could tell the team appreciated it, as they came over to them after the game to slap hands and thank them. I love these football moments, and it was a great day in the stadium. Five stars for a loyal fan base, and go Lobos!

Food lines at the usual stadium food places were short - then there were the food trucks. Four of them longer lines and offering more than stadium food.

The performances were absolutely stunning, the dancers and energy were mesmerizing and truly unforgettable. Unfortunately, everything else was a mess. We waited three hours at will call for wristbands, only to have the coliseum hit capacity. They clearly oversold tickets, and we missed the Grand Opening and night show. Food lines were also 2-3 hours long with not enough vendors. It was so frustrating that we didn't even return the next day. It's sad this was called "The Last Dance." The performances deserved far better organization.

It was not crowded and you could probably find good seats anywhere. It was a little confusing walking in, as we didn't buy tickets ahead of time and weren't told which gate was selling tickets (which meant getting in another line). Parking wasn't bad either.

I was rather surprised to hear they were hosting a ceremony with covid still lingering around. When I arrived and discovered it was an outdoor stadium it made much more sense. Proud of my brother I was so excited to be apart of this chapter in his life. The walkways were very spacious and the stadium had everyone fairly spread apart. The security staff was on top of the gate making sure everyone had masks and wristbands to enter. The venue was pretty nice.

Then APS choose artificial turf instead of grass increasing the risk of injury and the wear and tear on the players' bodies. To add insult to injury the fields are 40 minutes (in weeknight traffic) from the NE heights, but that is where many (but for unknown reasons not all) of the NE High Schools play our "home" games...what a joke. Again, many - if not all - of the APS High Schools have soccer fields, but teams do not (cannot?) use them for games, because that would require proper maintenance of the fields (and granted no night games). Another of my many frustrations with APS!

The City of Albuquerque needs to reconsider the gate fees and make it more economical and consider the teams and families that come from out of town.

I like to go run intervals and run the stairs some mornings. The only problem is that it's pick and choose when it's opened. I've gone multiple times around 7am and it is still locked up. Some days it's opened at 6am. I guess it just depends on if the key holder wants to wake up or not? I have no idea. It's a great 400m track. Go run, go watch games, go get your fit on.

There are separate visitor and home seating areas -- unless it is a smaller event like a JV football game -- then every guest gets to sit in the larger home area. The staff is not so friendly, and they do not mind being rude at all. Those grouchy people NEED customer service training on a daily basis. I only have witnessed one polite and nice worker. Cheers to him! Thank you for being delightful. You help make Milne A-OK. At any rate, come prepared by avoiding the workers and by bringing your stadium needs (cushion, umbrella, blanket, water bottle, etc). Make sure to use your loud cheering voices because the players really do appreciate the fans. I thought about buying a cowbell, but my co-worker said, "Please don't." So, for now I will not. Can someone suggest a better noise maker?
