Fifty Years at the Pit

Autor Gary Herron Cuvânt înainte de Greene, Hunter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 mar 2018

Basketball fans at the University of New Mexico have always been loyal, loud, and numerous, and the devotees have grown in number over the fifty years since the opening of the University Arena, a.k.a. the Pit, in 1966. Herron recounts many of the best players and games in this celebration of one of the best-known facilities in the United States.

With almost two hundred color photographs, this illustrative explosion shows you the players, the plays, the coaches, and the sold-out crowds dressed in red. You can recall the colorful nicknames: Petie Gibson, Marvin Automatic Johnson, and, of course, Stormin' Norman Ellenberger. This stunning work also contains extensive statistics that will not disappoint--like who took the Lobos to the most postseason contests.

Herron does not overlook women's basketball, a standout sport at UNM, nor does he omit the great non-UNM entertainment that has happened at the Pit: the NMAA state high school basketball tournament, the Gathering of Nations, boxing matches, bull riding, concerts, and more.
