Homecoming

 1959

These cheering spectators were at UNM's Homecoming, circa 1959.  This photo probably shows the final rally at Zimmerman Stadium, which functioned as the football stadium between 1938 and 1960, when UNM finished University Stadium.  At this time the football field sat in the middle of campus, where the Humanities Building and Ortega Hall now stand.  That year during Homecoming, the Lobos defeated the University of Denver 42-0, but students continued to lament the ending of the annual parade.
