History

Opened in 1952 as the nation's largest stadium, it has a capacity of 69,000, and its first major event was the 1955 Pan American Games. During the 1950s and 1960s, this stadium was used mostly for college American football games between the largest Mexican public universities at the time: National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and National Polytechnic Institute (IPN). From the late 1950s, it hosted association football matches, some American football games, and athletics.
