Between the New Mexico United game and other events, parking lots were full around University of New Mexico Stadium on Saturday. Despite the huge crowds, athletes from La Cueva’s dance, cheer and football teams came out to support the Big Bad Bear Band as they performed at the 2022 Zia Marching Band Fiesta.
