The Slam played their home games at Tingley Coliseum. The New Mexico State Fair Commission split parking and concession with the team 50-50 and the Slam had to pay a $2,500 per game fee.[1] Former University of New Mexico assistant coach John Whisenant served as the team's head coach. Their logo was described by the Albuquerque Journal as "an angry iguana gripping a basketball".[2]
