Club America's Home Turf: Estadio Azteca

 Outside view of the Estadio Azteca

This is the Azteca Stadium which opened its doors to the football world in May of 1966. It is often referred as the "Coloso de Santa Ursula" which translates to "Colossus of Saint Ursula". It is located in Santa Ursula, Mexico City, Mexico. The Azteca has hosted two world cup finals one for the 1970 World Cup and the 1986 World Cup. It is the largest stadium in Mexico and one of the largest stadiums in the world. It serves as a home not only to the America soccer club, but to the Mexican National soccer team as well. Another great reason to become a fan of America.

This stadium has the capacity to hold 104,000 fans. Its surface is completely grass, no artificial turfs or things like that. It is exclusively used for the sport of football, but has been used for special events such as concerts, boxing matches, and even one american football game.
