Masks are no longer required to attend events in the Pit.
The University of New Mexico on Thursday announced the news a couple hours after Gov. Michelle Lujan-Grisham caught many around the state off guard by announcing at a news conference in Santa Fe that she has lifted the state’s indoor mask mandate.
The UNM Lobos, fresh off beating No. 22 Wyoming in the Pit on Tuesday night, hosts Colorado State in the Pit on Thursday night at 7 p.m.
UNM does still have in place, for now, a vaccination or negative COVID-19 test requirement to attend games in the Pit — a decision made by the university in December under advisement of the university’s hospital officials citing high hospitalization rated and a lack of beds due to the high case count of COVID-19.
