Victoria Stadium, football (soccer) stadium in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico, home venue for Necaxa
Victoria Stadium is a football venue in Aguascalientes, Mexico, built to serve as the home ground for Club Necaxa. The structure features simple, tall stands surrounding the field and has a capacity of approximately 25,500 spectators.
The stadium opened in 2003 and became the new home for Club Necaxa, which had relocated from Mexico City to Aguascalientes. The opening match on July 26, 2003, was a friendly game against Chivas, marking a significant moment in the local sports timeline.
The stadium's name comes from Victoria beer, a Grupo Modelo brand that bought the naming rights for 25 years. The ground stands in the Colonia Héroes, opposite the historic Alberto Romo Chávez baseball park, and is part of a sports area with a velodrome and an Olympic-size pool. Its opening in 2003 also brought large concerts to Aguascalientes, starting with Maná on 7 December 2003.
The stadium is located in the eastern part of Aguascalientes, about 30 minutes on foot from the historic center. Bus lines such as RUTA 27, RUTA 41, and RUTA 43 run close to the venue, with clearly marked stops and frequent service.
The stadium's name was sold for 25 years to Grupo Modelo, which chose "Victoria" after one of its beer brands. The site was previously the Estadio Municipal, next to the old Alberto Romo Chávez baseball park in the Héroes neighbourhood. On 11 May 2007 Shakira played a concert here, among the first events of its kind in Aguascalientes.
