The Arizona Bowl between New Mexico State and Utah State is at 5:30 p.m. EST on Friday, December 29. It ranked No. 31 on Eric Single's Entertainment Bowl Rankings. He wrote: “This year’s Just Happy to Be Here winner in a landslide is New Mexico State, which last went to a bowl in 1960.

Sample review (from Leila R.):"This place is like Disneyland for beer! Between the awesome tap offerings and their bottle selection, if you like beer, you will be in heaven here! It gets hella crowded, so you have to be aggressive when approaching the bar to place your order, otherwise, you will dwindle amongst the regulars and college crowd."
