Estadio Jalisco is the third largest Mexican football stadium behind Azteca and Olimpico. The facility is located in the city of Guadalajara, 250 miles north-west of Mexico City, and has a maximum capacity of 72,000 fans.
This stadium is used mostly for football games and is the home ground of Guadalajara and Atlas, two of the oldest and most prominent football teams in Mexico. This stadium hosted the 1970 and 1986 World Cups.
During both of those tourneys the Estadio Jalisco was the temporary home of the Brazilian team and today remains a liaision between the people of Guadalajara and the Brazilian national team. The stadium is centrally located in the heart of the neighborhood called Colonia Independencia, and is in front ot the Plaza de Toros Nuevo Progreso ("New Progress" Bullring). Its address is Calle Siete Colinas
No. 1772, Colonia Independencia, C.P. 44290, Guadalajara, Jalisco.
The stadium Jalisco could have a maximum capacity of aboout 90,000 fans, but the Mexican Federation of Football says the the stadiums of Mexico need to be reduced by 45 percent for safety reasons that is why currently the stadiums seating capacity is 40,000. When there is a game of Guadalajara vs America it is allowed to seat 72,480.
In the FIFA World Cup 1970 which was hosted in Mexico the maximum capacity was 90,000, but later was reduced to make the stadium more secure.
