Thinking about making a quick trip down for the game. For those who've been to Sun Bowl games in the past, can you share a little about what the fan experience might be like? And are hotels, stadium and fan events all centralized in the same area?
I understand there is a very nice guy & big Pitt fan named Juan Pablo Ledezma in Juarez.The cheapest hotels are in the next town over (Juarez)

He would make NIL offers kids can’t refuse. Or make an example out of anyone who does…Perect opportunity for Heather to schmooze him and get him to set up a pay for play NIL
The Sun Bowl Stadium is on the UTEP campus as I remembered. The best places to stay are near the airport. From the airport to the stadium is probably a little less than 10 miles.Thinking about making a quick trip down for the game.

Yeah, I don't think anyone was laughing.Not being funny, but they did have a nice Holocaust museum as well
I just didn't want anyone to think that I was being tongue in cheek about the Holocaust Museum.Yeah, I don't think anyone was laughing.
Yes Carlisbad cavern is spectacular and if you are into hiking Guadalupe national park is also goodIf you're into caverns (which I am), Carlsbad is 155 miles away -- that's under a 3 hour drive. Carlsbad Cavern is an amazing cavern.
Stay away from Marty Robbins and his crew at Rosie's Cantina...Thinking about making a quick trip down for the game.

i remember the athletic dept warned fans to not go into juarez last sun bowl because they were killing everyone. of course that was a good 15 years ago.The cheapest hotels are in the next town over (Juarez)
I would not go across the border. Juarez is the 5th most dangerous in the world.i remember the athletic dept warned fans to not go into juarez last sun bowl because they were killing everyone. of course that was a good 15 years ago.
have things cooled off a bit there or are you just telling us to go there for cheap hotels and being a wise guy then we get our throats slit open as we play Neil Diamond in the jukebox at the mexican cantina?

If you do get sidetracked in El Paso, make sure you don't ride the wrong way into Juarez with Juanita on your lap.If you enter Juarez and see this guy... go the other way.
alright, it's settled. we are all meeting the night before in Ciudad Juarez at the worst bar we can find.. we drink our faces off, act obnoxious and even get some U-S-A chants going in case we dont annoy the locals enough..
Women and children stay state-side.. Last man left alive pays the tab..
Walking into Juarez is like walking into another world. Any metal gratings on the street will be missing. The cops on the corners stand in group of 6-8. The money you spend on any gifts should be different than the list price. Merchants there enjoy negotiating.
Still, I found it intriguing. Pretty sure you need a passport to go now.
It was free walking over the bridge from the American side. Coming back, the Mexican guard at the bridge wanted a fee. Unfortunately, they wouldn't take American money. Fortunately, her cousin was right there selling pesos for American money.
Anyway, it was an experience I wouldn't have missed.
An added problem since the last time I was there are the illegal aliens coming across. 53,284 is the number of known immigrants who illegally crossed into El Paso in October.
You are absolutely crazy if you go to Juarez.
I've been to Baghdad, Kandahar, and the West Bank and I wouldn't go to Juarez for $10,000.
I have no desire to visit St Louis, Detroit nor Memphis either.Americans saying they are afraid to go to Mexico due to the violence are like Europeans who are afraid to the visit the US because of the violence. The vast majority of murders in the US and Mexico are targeted. Visiting some downtown touristy area in Juarez only brings a little more risk than visiting a similar area in St. Louis, Detroit, Memphis, etc.
Rumor is WVU prints passports almost as fast as diplomasOver 1,000 wvu fans just crossed over today into El Paso getting ready for the sun bowl. This game is going to be packed.

Yeah because you can drive under a highway overpass in St. Louis and see bodies hung by local gangs.
That's what my employees saw in Mexico.
Not saying it's like that everywhere 100% of the time but Mexico has a level of violence and brutality unseen in the US. Their homicide rate is 6x ours and the USA is by far the most dangerous advanced democracy on Earth.
So you're just talking out of your bum.
There's 2-3 times more murders in Juarez than the most dangerous American cities. And again, almost all are targeted. The chances of you, as a tourist being murdered in Juarez are about the same as if you went to go see a Detroit Lions game.
