University Stadium (officially Dreamstyle Stadium from 2017 to 2020) is an outdoor football stadium in the western United States, located on the south campus of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is the home field of New Mexico Lobos football, which competes as a member of the Mountain West Conference.

The stadium opened 65 years ago in September 1960, and currently has a seating capacity of 39,224. Its FieldTurf playing surface, named "Turner & Margaret Branch Field", has a traditional north-south alignment and sits nearly a mile above sea level, at an elevation of 5,100 feet (1,555 m). University Stadium is the fourth highest stadium in FBS college football, behind fellow Mountain West Conference members Wyoming and Air Force, and Colorado of the Big 12 Conference.
