Popejoy Hall
Albuquerque / THE ROOM
Why this room makes the map
Popejoy Hall is where Albuquerque gets its big-stage nights: touring theater, dance, music, and the kind of performance that asks for a little ceremony on the way in. As UNM's principal performing-arts venue, it gives the city a proper room for work that needs scale without losing the audience.
About the room
On the UNM campus, Popejoy is New Mexico's largest performing-arts venue, with seating for about 1,985. It is a working house rather than a museum piece, built for a clean sightline, a serious stage, and an audience that came ready to pay attention.
Before you go
Read the Popejoy or UNM ticket page for the exact entrance and parking instructions. Give yourself time for the campus walk and the lobby; late seating is often controlled by the performance rather than your schedule.
