“This challenge has become a tradition, and we’re thrilled to participate again,” said NM State Director of Athletics Mario Moccia. “Winning on the field is always the goal, but this gives our fans an exciting way to take part in the rivalry off the field.”

I-10 rival challenge

NM State fans have triumphed in the challenge for the past two years and are aiming for a three-peat before hosting the Miners in the season finale. Fans eager to contribute can make their donations here.

The 101st installment of the Battle of I-10 is particularly historic, marking the first time since 1960 that the two teams will meet in their season finale. To secure your spot at this weekend’s game, call the Pan Am Ticket Office at 575-646-1420 or purchase tickets online here.
