History and description
Estadio Corona officially opened on the 11th of November 2009 with a concert of Ricky Martin and a friendly between Santos Laguna and Brazilian side Santos.
The new stadium replaced Santos’ old stadium with the same name, and came at a cost of US$ 100 million.
Estadio Corona has a total of 112 suites, and can be easily expanded to a capacity of 40,000 seats. It is part of a larger complex featuring bars, restaurants, a gym, offices, and the club’s youth academy. The club hopes to expand this with a hotel with pitch view and a shopping mall.
In 2011, a shooting took place outside the stadium during a match between Santos and Morelia. This led to panic inside the stadium, but no one was hurt or injured.
