Albuquerque to lease land at Balloon Fiesta Park for New Mexico United stadium

Reply in thread

The PDF of the proposed lease has the map of proposed stadium.

Also:

Edit: One other thing, I saw a theme from the posters on other social media sites that don't support a stadium (even if it being mostly privately funded). That is along the lines of "where will the balloons launch from" or similar. The stadium will be built on the other side of some power lines where the balloons stay away from. In one of the renders, the power lines are visible:

Albuquerque Journal RSS Feed?

Their new site uses Blox CMS, and there does seem to a RSS feed of sorts built into it, but it is slightly annoying because it goes through the search function.

Example: http://www.abqjournal.com/search/?f=rss Example 2: http://www.abqjournal.com/search/?f=rss&t=article&c=news/state&l=50&s=start_time&sd=desc

What you might want to do instead is follow the Journal's twitter RSS feed via Nitter: https://nitter.net/ABQJournal/rss

Is there a bus or anything that goes from Durango to Albuquerque?

Is driving out? If not, could you rent a car to get back? If so, their airport has service to Phoenix, Dallas, and Denver. Once at one of those cities, your options open up.

Additionally, this website can give you ideas with prices: https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Durango-CO-USA/Albuquerque

Edit:

Looks like there is a bus called "the Blue Bus" (North Central Regional Transit District ) that goes from Farmington to Chama. The route is called 170 JICARILLA. According to the linked to pdf, it is fare free, but I wouldn't trust that document. Give them a call to find out more: 505-629-4725 / 866-206-0754

Looking at their routes, it looks like it would be possible (depending on times) to get all the way to Edgewood. So in this case, your mission would be to get to Farmington from Durango. Then take a bus or three to the nearest Railrunner stop, hop on that and straight to Albuquerque.

Replay of the tackle. A yellow was given, should it have been a red?

Serious foul play

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.


A studs up challenge makes a tackle excessive.

In-N-Out Burger coming to New Mexico 'by 2027'

Same here. I think this is a case of people growing up with something, loving it. Example: I didn't grow up here, so I find Dion's Pizza kind of meh. But a significant number of my friends who grew up here think it is best pizza ever. My ideal pizza on the other hand would be Pontillo's Pizza from NY. (Bushnell's Basin specially). Though I'm sure if a Pontillos opened here, people from New Mexico would be meh about it.
