It's been a source of concern of the last two days, what about UTEP football and the amount of fans the Sun Bowl holds for their games? When asked about the cancellation of the bout between Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. and Andy Lee, UTEP athletic director Bob Stull released this statement to Newschannel 9 regarding UTEP events on campus:
“While we understand the correlation being drawn, the cancellation of the Chavez and Lee fight on June 16 does not have any bearing on UTEP’s 2012 football home games. We look forward to kicking off the season in the Sun Bowl against Oklahoma on September 1.”
