Comments: This stadium has a capacity of 83,700 spectators. As you can see from the height of the exterior, most of the stadium is below ground level. Currently, this is the home stadium of two equipos de fútbol (soccer teams): the Pumas Dorados de la UNAM and the Pumas de la Universidad.
Navigation: The right arrow below takes you to a close-up photo of the bas relief sculpture you see here over the main entrance.
Humanities issue: Compare this stadium to the ball court images you studied earlier. What did you learn about that ball court? To which humanities tradition does it belong? What relationship does it have in time, space, architecture, and cultural -religious practice with modern Mexico and modern Latin America? (See: Chichén Itzá #7, #8, #9, and #10).
