IN THE TWO YEARS SINCE THE 60 MILLION DOLLAR RENOVATION AT UNM'S PIT ... MORE THAN TWO DOZEN TILES HAVE FALLEN FROM THE ARENA'S INDOOR AND OUTDOOR STONE FACADES. THAT'S LED TO BANNERS BEING INSTALLED TO PROTECT LOBO BASKETBALL FANS FROM ANY MORE TILES THAT MIGHT FALL. 

 

UNM ARCHITECT ROBERT DORAN SAYS THE BANNERS WILL ADD A MEASURE OF SAFETY AS WELL AS A TOUCH OF CHERRY AND SILVER IN SUPPORT OF THE LOBOS.
