The Pit, nickname of New Mexico's home arena, is famous for being a dangerous destination for visiting teams. As it turned out, it was also dangerous for home fans Saturday night.
After the Lobos' 86-77 win over No. 9 BYU, officials discovered that seven rows of bleachers had collapsed. The seats were used by students, who typically stand throughout the game. No injuries were reported.
The collapse was apparently due to students jumping on the seats.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
