Azteca Stadium

The Estadio Azteca, located in the Santa Úrsula Coapa neighborhood of Mexico City, is a landmark sports venue renowned for its rich history and unique architecture. Opened in 1966, the stadium has served as the home of the Mexico national football team ever since. Built specifically for the 1968 Summer Olympics, the stadium was named after the Aztecs and is often referred to as the "Colossus of Saint Ursula" due to its location. The stadium's architecture is meticulously designed: the 105 x 68 meter pitch is covered in natural grass and is located 9 meters below street level, creating a unique visual effect. One of the stadium's unique features is its orientation, which allows the sun's rays to cross the pitch perpendicularly, ensuring equal conditions for both teams. Situated at an altitude of over 2,200 meters above sea level, the Azteca Stadium can accommodate a huge number of spectators, as evidenced by attendance records for both football matches and boxing matches.
