"Albuquerque",[[note]]prounounced "AL-buh-ker-kee"[[/note]] known as The Duke City, is the largest city and metropolitan area in UsefulNotes/NewMexico. Founded as "La Villa de Alburquerque" in 1706, named after the Duke of Alburquerque, the viceroy of New Spain. Best known for quite a few things: being [[Creator/NeilPatrickHarris the birthplace of NPH]], [[Series/BreakingBad the home of Heisenberg]], [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows the founding location of Microsoft]], [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic a magical land where the towels are oh so fluffy]], the place for [[Film/HighSchoolMusical living one's high school experience as a musical]], and being where WesternAnimation/BugsBunny [[Main/WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque should've taken a left turn]].

* '''The Pit''' – Home of New Mexico Lobos basketball. Though officially named University Arena when it opened in 1966, it's always been known as "The Pit" due to its largely subterranean construction, having been dug out of the city's south mesa and covered with a simple steel-framed roof. Although [[ProductPlacement corporately named]] "Dreamstyle Arena" since May 2017, ''no one'' (except UNM sports suits) calls it anything but "The Pit".
