Monterrey
Estadio BBVA · FIFA: Estadio Monterrey · Cap. 51,348
Modern, business-first, hot as hell in June (40°C+). The stadium is gorgeous — designed around mountain views. Cabrito (kid goat) is the local obsession.
The Stadium
Estadio BBVA is a Mexican association-football stadium located in Guadalupe, Nuevo León, a suburb east of Monterrey. Dubbed "El Gigante de Acero", it replaced the Estadio Tecnológico as the home of C.F. Monterrey, ending the club's 63-year tenure at that venue. Its name is branded after the BBVA Spanish bank, and specifically its Mexican branch BBVA Mexico.
