Estadio Azteca in Mexico City

Estadio Azteca in Mexico City

Opened: 1966
Seats: 114.600
Team:  Club America

One of the biggest stadiums in the world. Built for the 1968 Olympics and host of two world championships finals:
June 21, 1970 - Brazil 4 - Italy 1
June 29, 1986 - Argentina 3 - West Germany 2

 

I passed this stadium and saw it from the outside during my vacation in 2000. I took a picture while sitting in a bus, which didn't work out. There was no time to enter the ground, but I guess I can tell I have been there emotionally!
An ex-colleague of mine, Mr. Erik de Rooy, had the kindness to give me a picture.
