This is the giant stadium in the south of Mexico City known for decades as the Estadio Azteca. It hosted the World Cup finals of 1970 and 1986, and it was renovated to stage matches of a third World Cup, making it the first stadium to host games at three tournaments. It is the traditional home of Club América and of the Mexico national team.
The stadium is a vast, steep bowl, and the main difference between seats is height and distance. The lower levels along the touchlines are the closest and most expensive. The upper rings are a long way from the pitch but give a complete view. The renovation added premium areas and modernised facilities while keeping the building's famous shape.
Mexico City sits more than two kilometres above sea level. Visitors from the coast may feel the altitude on the climb to the upper levels, and evenings can be cool even in the warmer months, with afternoon rain common in the summer rainy season. Mexican stadiums commonly require registration with a fan ID before entry, so check the requirements for your event ahead of time.
The light rail line that runs south from Tasqueña station, at the end of Métro line 2, stops by the stadium and is the easiest way in. Road traffic around the stadium is very heavy before and after big events, and parking fills early. PickStub is an independent marketplace and is not affiliated with the stadium or any club or team that plays there.
