The New Mexico State University Athletic Department and City of Las Cruces have collaborated to celebrate NMSU’s football team, the 2022 Quick Lane Bowl champions.
The community event will take place Downtown at the Plaza de Las Cruces from noon to 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21.
The event will kick off with a special downtown edition of the traditional Aggie Walk. The Aggie gameday staple will begin at City Hall and head down Main Street, beginning at noon. The team will be joined by the New Mexico State Pride Band, Sun Dancers, cheer squad and Pistol Pete. The special edition of the Aggie Walk will conclude at Plaza de Las Cruces, where there will be vendors, special performances, and speeches to commemorate the Aggies' first bowl win of the Jerry Kill era, the 24-19 victory over Bowling Green in December.
Dignitaries from the City of Las Cruces and NMSU will speak to the gathered fans, including Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima; NM State Chancellor Dan Arvizu; NM State Director of Athletics Mario Moccia; Coach Kill; and a representative from the Quick Lane Bowl.
There will be a free autograph session following the main program and limited-edition Quick Lane Bowl championship posters will be available. Fans will also have an opportunity take photos with the Quick Lane Bowl Trophy in the plaza.
The event is free and open to the public. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to take in the Farmers & Crafts Market of Las Cruces, which runs 8:30 a.m.- 1 p.m. Saturdays.
