UTEP Announces No Mountain Climbing Policy for BTS Concert: Ensuring Safety and Security for All
The University of Texas at El Paso has announced that guests will not be allowed to climb the mountain to watch the upcoming concert by K-pop group BTS. This decision was made to ensure the safety of residents and prevent any potential dangers associated with climbing the mountain. Law enforcement will be monitoring the area on the day of the concert, and "no trespassing" signs will be posted around the mountain to enforce this rule.
In the past, El Pasoans have been known to climb the mountain to get a free view of concerts, such as when Coldplay performed in June 2025. This trend has become more prevalent, prompting UTEP officials to take action and discourage people from attempting to watch the concert from the mountain. Climbing the mountain to avoid paying for tickets is not only risky but also poses a safety concern for those involved.
It is important for residents to respect the university's decision and refrain from attempting to climb the mountain to watch the concert. By following the guidelines set by UTEP officials, concert-goers can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience during the upcoming event. Let's all come together to support the concert and enjoy the music in a safe and responsible manner.
