Additionally, Fort Bliss, located in El Paso and 10 minutes from the hotel, is the seventh largest military complex of the United States Army which brings in a wide variety of travel.

The Bowl game is one of the oldest traditions in college football and we are honored to be a part of this El Paso event, it is something we look forward to each and every year.”
