We went to see the stadium in November 2011, attending a match between Puebla and Tigres from Monterrey. It was the last game of the regular season and both teams needed a win in order to qualify for the playoffs. The match was played on a Sunday at noon.

We reached the stadium by taxi from the CAPU bus terminal, where the buses from Mexico City arrive. The taxi cost us app. 6 USD, and the ride took about 10 minutes.

At the stadium we quickly found our ways to the ticket booths (taquillas), and waited for about half an hour to make it to the front of the line. Conveniently we could get tickets for any section at that ticket window, and we were kindly explained the options. We chose a section high up in the stadium, in the long end, mainly because the roof would protect us against the blistering sun. The tickets cost us around 5 USD, and after eating some quesadillas at one of the many food stands we entered the stadium.

The stadium looks quite impressive from the inside (as well as the outside) with its high ramps. Seating was free, which meant we could choose any seat in the upper long end stand. Our section was nicely filled with Puebla fans, though enough free seats remained throughout the match. The fanatic fans of Puebla sat (or more often stood) behind the goal at one of the short ends, whereas the visiting Tigres fans were in a corner at the opposite end. Quite a few Tigres fans had made the away trip and the atmosphere was nice from both sides. The stadium was about two-thirds filled.

Beers and snacks were sold by the typical vendors walking around the stands, so we did not even have to get up to get a beer. The match was rather uneventful, and won by Tigres which somewhat dampened the atmosphere in the home stands.

After the match the stadium emptied quickly and the fans of both sides mixed up peacefully on the outside. After a bit of a search, and climbing over a freeway, we found an empty taxi which brought us back to the bus terminal (we already knew the city, but would definitely recommend a visit to the historic city centre).
