Estadio Nemesio Díez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Estadio Nemesio Díaz, nicknamed La Bombonera, is one of the oldest soccer stadiums in Mexico being inaugurated August 18, 1954 and having capacity for near 27,000 seats and built in old English stadium style, it is located in the city of Toluca, Estado de México, near Mexico City. This sports stadium is used mostly for soccer games and is the home of the Club Toluca. Because of its location this stadium has hosted two World Cups (1970 and 1986). One former oddity about this stadium is that it did not have a lighting system which forced the local team, as a tradition to play with sunlight. However this has changed with Toluca's entry into the Copa Sudamericana because CONMEBOL has a policy stating that all teams participating in the cup must have a lighting system available in their stadiums.
