Jalisco Stadium, Football stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico

Jalisco Stadium is an oval football ground in the Colonia Independencia of Guadalajara, with a continuous ring of tiered seating around a rectangular grass pitch. The upper tier is mostly red seats, with the word "JALISCO" spelled out in white across one long side, while the lower tier is painted in red, white and yellow sections. A dark roof overhangs the top edge, low advertising boards line the pitch and a blue canopy stands on the right side of the field.

Construction began in July 1956, funded by the Clubes Unidos de Jalisco association formed that October, and the stadium was blessed on 24 January 1959; the inaugural match, Atlas against San Lorenzo de Almagro, followed on 31 January 1960. It hosted eight matches at the 1970 World Cup, including Brazil's 3-1 semifinal win over Uruguay, and six in 1986.

The stadium sits in Colonia Independencia, facing the Plaza de Toros Nuevo Progreso. Atlas and Leones Negros de la Universidad de Guadalajara play their home matches here, and the annual presidency of the owning association Clubes Unidos de Jalisco rotates among Guadalajara, Atlas, Oro and the Universidad de Guadalajara. Brazilian fans treat it as a link to their national team, which used it as its base in 1970 and 1986.

The stadium sits at Calle 7 Colinas 1772, at the corner of Avenida Fidel Velázquez, one block from Calzada Independencia in Colonia Independencia, facing the Plaza de Toros Nuevo Progreso. Access is via Calzada Independencia and Avenida Fidel Velázquez. The site covers 47,200 square metres, with entrances on Monte Carmelo, Fidel Velázquez, Siete Colinas and Iztaccíhuatl streets.

Brazil used Estadio Jalisco as its base in both 1970 and 1986, playing every match it hosted in 1986 except one semifinal. The team's link with Guadalajara endures, and the stadium is still described as a liaison between the city and Brazilian football.
