In order for me to vote for this, I would need to see the acts that were willing/wanted to come here, but the Sun Bowl wasn’t suitable for their acts. Coldplay, who didn’t visit many other cities in the US found it suitable, but UTEP is telling us it’s not.

Do you have to hate on everything El Paso does? Im not a Coldplay fan but it did look awesome on video. The Sun Bowl was packed and it gave El Paso some good pub. Maybe more bigger acts will come now??? Im not a fan but maybe Beyonce could next next or Taylor Swift??

I agree. Coldplay mentioned that his good friend Jim Ward used to tour with them and convinced him to come to El Paso.

I think there are things they can do to make it a better Football venue. LED lights, larger screen, upgrade the tunnel locker rooms, sound system possibly, but it’s unrealistic that making a hundred million in infrastructure upgrades will bring in stadium tours.

Can you ask your friend whether he and other boosters will start pressuring Wilson about canning Senter's ass

I asked his opinion and he’s said it’s half n half for Golding support. He also said what apparently many upset Miner fans aren’t getting is that the extension was on the table after the team almost made the NCAA, returned most of the team and started off well in non conference. It wasn’t just done recently.

Happy Fathers Day! Was down in San Antonio this week and ended up running into an old UTEP alum and booster. We chatted and for whatever it’s worth. He was told by Senter that MWC approached UTEP and then the interest was mutual. Apparently Utep is expected to have an even share of TV revenue with the other all sports schools with the exception of UNLV and Air Force. Also funds from the departed CUSA schools as well as NIL Revenue sharing is meant to even the playing field and raise UTEPs NIL when they join MWC. We shall see I guess!

UTEP and County officials could ride the high off this and start the Sun Bowl improvement chatter again. I still think it would be lipstick on a pig, but they’ve given a lot of folks a reminder and tease to what is possible.

Also, chalk this one up as one of the big generational Sun Bowl shows like U2, Rolling Stones, and the boy bands. Seemed like a lot of ex-El Pasoans went back home for this. Great for the city.
