Estadio Olímpico de la UACH, University football stadium in Chihuahua City, Mexico.
The Estadio Olímpico de la UACH is a multi-use stadium with 22,000 seats, opened in 2007 on the university's Campus II. Its synthetic pitch covers 8,400 square metres, encircled by a 400-metre rubber athletics track with long-jump areas. A three-storey building of 4,000 square metres holds locker rooms, a gym, press rooms and the UACH sports offices.
Construction began on 22 May 2005, attended by Governor José Reyes Baeza Terrazas, rector Raúl Chávez Espinoza and over 7,000 students, and the stadium opened on 24 May 2007 with a match between the Águilas UACH and the Bulldogs of Texas Lutheran University. On 15 September 2009 the University Council renamed it Estadio Olímpico José Reyes Baeza Terrazas. It hosted the Tazón Azteca in 2007, 2011 and 2014 and the Tazón México VI.
The stadium is home to the Águilas UACH, the university's college American football team in ONEFA, and to the Caudillos de Chihuahua of the Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional de México. It hosted the Tazón Azteca in 2007, 2011 and 2014 and the Tazón México VI. The first concert held there was Shakira's during her Fijación Oral tour.
The facility is well-organized with clear zones for spectators, athletes, and media personnel. Visitors should arrive early to find good seating and navigate the multiple access points and levels.
The synthetic turf was upgraded in 2019 to meet Mexican Football Federation standards. This modernization transformed the venue into a first-class facility for both professional and university-level events.
