Albuquerque is prominently featured in the recent movie: High School Musical 3: Senior Year. The city is so happy about the connection, they've taken out a press release to emphasize their town.

"The movie's main character Troy Bolton plans to attend the University
of Albuquerque to play basketball. In reality, Albuquerque is home to the
University of New Mexico, which is known for its basketball program and its
legendary arena, "The Pit". The Pit has been recognized by USA Today,
Sports Illustrated and others as a top sporting venue in the country. As
the East High Wildcats from the movie would say, you can "get your head in
the game" at sporting events around the city including a Thunderbirds NBA
D-League basketball game, an Isotopes AAA baseball game, or a New Mexico
Scorpions hockey game among others."

It looks the people running the "Hot Air Capital of the World" know not to miss a marketing opportunity when they see one.
