Estadio Nacional, Multi-use stadium in Colonia Roma, Mexico City.
The sports complex featured a Greek-style U-shaped design with lateral stands and an athletics track surrounding the main playing field.
Built in 1923 under architect José Villagrán García's direction, the stadium hosted the first Central American and Caribbean Games in 1926.
Diego Rivera decorated the stadium's facade with human figures representing willpower and vision, integrating art into sports architecture.
The venue reduced its initial capacity from 60,000 to 30,000 seats and served for football matches, athletics competitions, and civic demonstrations.
The stadium stood on former municipal cemetery grounds before its demolition in 1949, making way for the current Ramón López Velarde garden.
